ksysguard under KDE (e.g., on Kubuntu) is a pretty nice graphical 'top'.
You can filter, see processes as a tree (child/parent relationships, etc.).

Also, from the command line, instead of:

  ps aux | grep foo
  [figure out foo's pid]
  kill pid

you can often just do:

  killall foo

(Kill it/them by name, rather than numeric process ID/IDs)
