I initially thought the title referenced OS task managers a.k.a. system monitors.

  My first thought was related to interpersonal relationships among certain people in management, and then the Windows utility of the same name. Definitely an unusual and bit clickbaity title.

  I wished that was the case. I'd love a sane, modern replacement for the windows task / resource monitor.

    What’s insane about the current one?

      The standard task manager is extremely basic - the only reason I use it is to select a process to kill. The resource monitor on the other hand is clunky in behaviour (why are the handles not updated when I select an entry? why the extra step of a checkbox?), often confused (I've had multiple systems with CPU usage not adding up to the total, services missing from the list, etc.), and missing some behaviours (why can't I copy text/data from it?) The Process Explorer from sysinternals is way better, but I also don't find it intuitive. Most sysintrnals tools seem to be a kitchen sink of awesome tools with no UX. Especially the Process Monitor filter setting dialog is annoying every single time.

  Yeah, nobody really calls "to do list" software task managers...
