You might try searching the archives for articles confirming what I'm saying; You wouldn't necessarily mix the two, but the two can be installed on the same machine -- Mine are. I don't use apt-get, and simply run aptitude from the command line. It works much the same as the apt-get command. I've run command line aptitude for several years without any problem in doing so.
