Specs are quantitative aspects of the option such as the price
Pros
Pro Important information all in one place
Unlike the default system monitors found in Ubuntu or Gnome Shell, Glances shows a lot of information all in one place instead of having to click through tab after tab. This makes cursory glances at one's stats a lot easier and less time-consuming.
Know any positive aspects of this option?

Flagged Pros + Cons
Con High cpu usage (on RPi), broken after a few hours of running.
it's based on python
Con Finding particular programs resources is time consuming
Due to the way glances lists out all the running programs it can be difficult to find a particular one as you would need to search through the whole list manually. This can be time consuming and frustrating when trying to pin down a rogue app.
