Subject: Why ss output is machine friendly by default?

The --processes switch of ss program outputs strings containing 
"users:(("ntpd",pid=1888,fd=19))" and it is too long for the purpose of 
system administration. netstat program output "1888/ntpd" is more than 
enough for humans. Long output causes line wraps in terminal and hard to 
read.
