:D

For myself, I never use aptitude through the curses interface. I almost 
exclusively use its command line interface, and even that is many times 
better than that of apt-get.
For example, I can tell aptitude directly to purge a package, instead of 
remove --purge (apt-way). It's overall more intuitive to use.
If I want a fully fledged user interface, I would use synaptic instead. 
I have never felt the urge to have a user interface for package 
management though.
