For me, it's easier to avoid accident by giving the name of the program
I want to stop to killall, than by giving the number of the process to
kill. By far. Because I can make a mistake in copying the process number
or in looking at the line in which it's displayed. When it's very
difficult to make a mistake using the name and the tabular key to use
the name of the process.

So, for me, killall is by far the best way to prevent accidents. And
knowing it's working differently on slowlaris, which I don't use, isn't
an interesting reason for me to stop using it.
