I always use apt-get, mostly because I vaguely understand it. That is, I really prefer Synaptic, but when the command line is more efficient, apt-get is my choice. But all the people in the know about Debian tell me I should be using aptitude. I suppose I should switch, but that would require learning new stuff. After a graduate degree my brain is full, so if I learn new stuff I'll have to delete some of the old stuff.
