I like it, but why not use something like htop? [1]

Perhaps it's not entirely comparable, but you do not need to open any extra ports or run any extra processes.

It looks really nice though! [1] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Htop

I love htop too, but the great thing about scout_realtime is the couple minutes of context provided the charts.

Sometimes, nothing beats seeing a chart to quickly see what's going on.

I've found MenuMeters really useful (only available on Mac though)

It's always instantly clear when something like iTunes or a Chrome helper starts eating up 105% CPU, and provides quick access to force quitting it. :)

That is true, charts are nice.

I actually mostly use glances [1]. I forgot to mention glances in my comment.

I've never actually used conky. I'd never see it, I rarely notice my wallpaper because I never see my desktop.
