Never cared for Aptitude, mainly because if it's tendency to automatically remove all packages the system thinks are no longer in use, without prompting you if you in fact *want* them removed. A very dangerous default (can it even be changed?) when you've removed a single package from a metapackage, and because the metapackage got removed as well, the system might think the rest of the packages in the metapackage are orphaned.
