Wasn't that discussed at length in april...?

Anyway, synaptic isn't gone, it may be not usable on your Raspian
system if the people that put that image together used wayland rather
than X (if my memory of that discussion is correct).

Personally, I've always used aptitude for package management with a
visual UI, being text console based it also works over ssh or other
remote terminal connections. You'd have to get use to using a keyboard
rather than a mouse though.
