- Aptitude has a very friendly UI for a console app.
- All changes u made can be easily undone
- U can delete unused/obsolete packs easily
- Information over a package is very impressive and u have acces to it in a
fast way
- Its a native apt implemetation and uses all its benefits

Dselect is a very old tool now and it doesn't fit anymore in the apt
enviroment. I don't say dselect isn't the standard tool anymore, i don't care
wich tool that is... To a new user i would never suggest deselct today.
However, everyone has to decide for urself but everyone has to understand apt
then hes fine :-)
