The main value added is to automaticaly highlight the stats and sort the process lists. For exemple, if a memory warning is detected, the process list is sorted by memory consumption (idem for CPU). For me, only 'atop' (available in the Debian repos) can display both CPU, load, memory and network interface in the same console.
