I have on occasion used Synaptic on the boxen I administrate for other people.  
I have then not infrequently switched into aptitude to sort out the problems 
that seemed to me to be an inevitable concomitant to  using Synaptic.  The 
one thing that I do like Synaptic for (though I would not install it 
specially for the purpose) is searching to see what software of a certain 
type is available.
