yes, deity is going to be cool, but it is quite unusable right now, I
won't give my girlfriend a tool that uses the terminal from wich it was
opened to let the user interact with dpkg... I just want to put it on
the gnome panel as a launcher =), besides, deity-gtk is very unstable
and segfaults quite often
another reason is deity is not so user friendly, it is not easy to understand
how the thing works at first, gnome-apt's "Search" is much more intuitive
than deity's "Filter" for a beginner.
thanks for the comments anyway, (and yes, I'll be willing to give up
gnome-apt if deity become what gnome-apt is today or better =))
