The upcoming version 0.50 has some nice new features. The GUI is
reworked and simpler, nicer and more HIG compliant. And a lot of code
in the internal engine was cleaned up. See a screenshot here:

I have been wishing to use a graphical client for ages, but have grown
used to the automatic dependency management in Aptitude - so that if a
package is installed automatically to fulfill a dependency, it is also
removed automatically when it is not needed anymore. Do you support
that?
No. This is a feature is planed as a long-term goal. But we don't have
it yet.

Speaking of which, this is something which should really be standardized
between the various packaging front-ends. It's very annoying to have
built up a list of wanted packages in debfoster, then have them all
ignored by aptitude, and build up a new list there to have it ignored by
synaptic...
As a user, I'd much appreciate having a standard place where such things
are stored across these different apt frontends. Thanks.
