From the top of my head (assuming you only use aptitude in command-line mode): advantages: + the resolver is more complex and *usually* gets the dependencies better than apt-get + removes automatically installed packages in one go, no need for a separate command + has an interactive dependency resolver even in command-line mode + advanced search patterns disadvantages: - lacks 'source' command - might be slower - simple searches are much slower than apt-cache (but apt-cache lacks advanced searches) differences: * safe-upgrade allows package installs IMHO: for simple update/upgrade cycles and install/remove/purge on a stable machine it probably doesn't matter, but if you do complex upgrades (like they often happen in testing and unstable) aptitude's interactive mode is unbeatable!
