I used aptitude a little back in debian days, but still preferred dselect
and apt-get.  I never felt the need to use aptitude in Ubuntu as I either
script apt-get installs or use synaptic (especially when I am showing new
users how package management works).

I am looking forward to improvements in the Software Centre that will make
it as useful as synaptic then will hope to just use the software centre and
scripted apt-get installs.

Thank you.
