There is also the graphical "Add/Remove Applications", which I think is much easier to use if you want to install an application. Also, "Software Sources" has more use-cases, like enabling or disabling automatic security updates, selecting how often it should look for updates, adding authenticaton keys and allowing statistical information to be sent. This is all unlikely to need a package manager in the same usecase. Personally, I'd prefer if the Software Sources would stay in the menu. However, I would not mind for Synaptic to go away...
