For the record, in my experience there is nothing wrong with working
with all three of them at the same time (apt, aptitude, and synaptic).
That's what I am doing now. I started off with apt-get, then I got to
know aptitude, which adds a few nice tricks, and finally went with
synaptic because I tried it and like it. I sometimes switch between the
three depending on what I want to do and how I want to do it. Never had
my box break !

PS: I am intrigued as well : just got apt-listbugs, and can't wait till
I try it.
