The cake is a lie! :-)

See, that's a problem.  You are designing a tool to be used by admins,
but you blow off what admins like.

Okay, there's some interesting stuff there I guess.  It isn't something
I'll need on a regular basis.  Including a process tree isn't always a
good idea (think sendmail and dovecot on busy mail servers; hundreds of
lines of output).  When I want to see a process tree, there are already
tools to do that (I prefer the traditional Unix philosophy to make
things do one job and do it well, or just run perl for everything).
