Aptitude is a package manager with a number of useful features, including: a mutt-like syntax for matching packages in a flexible manner, dselect-like persistence of user actions, the ability to retrieve and display the Debian changelog of most packages, and a command-line mode similar to that of apt-get.

aptitude is also Y2K-compliant, non-fattening, naturally cleansing, and housebroken.

Great when troubleshooting from TTY. Lacks detailed search functioning; but is otherwise robust (great for conflict management vs. apt)

Aptitude is the perfect frontend for apt. It has an ncurses frontend and dependency solutions. Using apt-get without aptitude should be a punishment, not a default.
