Perhaps exactly that. Simplicity sometimes means that advanced features
are not available, or that you have to dig deep to be able to reach them.

I cannot say if this is the case with Synaptic, though.

Regarding aptitude, its interface may have the easiest learning curve
there is, but it certainly is very powerful. When I started using it, it
was the only package manager that automatically erased unused packages,
so I forced myself to use it.
