Bah humbug. You're just upset because I'm right...
Aptitude has been the recommended (by DDs) package manager since Etch was released. It has better dependency resolution, is more user-friendly, and is a bit more tunable.That is, unless you are trying to script the package manager. In that case I think apt-get or libapt are better choices.
Then aptitude should remove the CLI interface and stop pretending to be useful from bash.
