First, this is cool! Good job!

Would you run this or would you run htop? I'm not sure when I'd use one over the other.

Maybe someone less dense than I knows more and can tell me what the differences are?

htop (and by extension top) is for CPU / memory / load information only.

Normally to get network and disk stats I have to run a combination of dstat, iotop. A simple screenshot comparison: http://i.imgur.com/eQPuQ.png

OTOH htop takes up ~2MB per instance, while glances is taking up ~13MB. Glances also doesn't have the ability to sort by columns except by CPU/mem %. You can't kill browse or kill processes from the list either.

For anyone who doesn't know, htop actually does a fair bit more. For example, go to a process (arrow keys or "/" to search), then press "l" to show open files (with lsof) or press "s" to show a strace. You can also renice processes and send sigterm or other signals to them.
