used it once or twice, wasn't impressed, returned to apt-get and
apt-cache search, which work extremely well, and have done since
debian began.
never had *any* problems - at all - that weren't caused by doing
something incredibly stupid such as "ctrl-c" in the middle of an
installation (at the point where dpkg is being called), and even then,
apt-get -f install in almost 100% of cases fixed the "problem that i
had myself caused".
really: if you ask me, relying on GUIs for something as
mission-critical as installation of packages is asking for trouble.
