None that I am aware of right now. :)

I don't think anybody disputes that aptitude might give better results
in some cases. It's just that apt-get is recommended for upgrades
between releases. Upgrading testing or sid on a regular basis might pose
different problems than a release upgrade. If aptitude works for you,
feel free to use it.
