When aptitude came out, we've been told that aptitude was the real apt frontend that apt-get was never meant to be to begin with (apt-get being only a debug/devel tool for libapt) and that it was the tool to use from now on for everybody except maybe for advanced users who will probably stick with apt-get. Either this hasn't got enough publicity, or people decided to stick with apt-get because aptitude didn't cut it. The former case is easy enough to fix before October 1st; the latter might not be that easy to fix, depending on the reasons behind the dislike for aptitude. Now, from the Debian users I know around me, I can tell you that none of them like aptitude, and they especially dislike the "install recommends by default" so-called "feature".
