I got super tired of Microsoft seemingly being determined to make the app you turn to when your computer locks up and is laggy laggy itself with screen readers, so I wrote my own task manager. It's pure C ,not even linking against a CRT, meaning the current binary is around 20 KB including a complete, sortable process list. You can also customize what columns the list shows and how often you want it to refresh, if at all. I personally keep auto refresh off and just manually refresh with f5, and the list keeps your exact place whenever it refreshes. Pressing escape minimizes it to the system tray, while alt+f4 closes it. I want to do much more with this, such as binding it to a hotkey, but I think it's good enough for a first release.

@TheQuinbox Killing a process on Del would be a nice addition. And… thank you, Quinn. I've been missing Process Killer for years.

@menelion Ooh delete, not a bad idea. Ctrl+E works, but I like delete. Thanks for the suggestion!

@TheQuinbox It was a program called Process Killer I've been using for many years. It had a window but you could hide it and summon by Ctrl+Shift+Accent (the backtick key, MarkDown code delimiter). And there Delete killed processes, super convenient. And Escape closed the program again.

@TheQuinbox I love that we're going back to the old days of Sys internals but with better tools.
