I installed procps-ng-classic, but this alone didn't bring back the old useful top, I needed to remove ~/.toprc too and now the resource hungriest process is shown again.
What exactly is the new style good for, if it can happen, that the resource hungriest process isn't listed, while absolutely irrelevant processes are listed?
IMO Arch Linux shouldn't follow upstream, if upstream decide to do something that idiotic for a much used command line tool.
I followed procps-ng-sucks suggestions and my procps-ng top works for me - shows the resource hogs just fine. You can use htop if you want.
I'm aware about htop and atop, I used them sometimes in the past, but top is a basic tool and shouldn't be changed in such an absurd way.
