Your negative reaction to aptitude is shared by some prominent DD. This isuue of mass removal came from auto-install data. Now that both apt-get and aptitude share the same data, this root cause has been removed. You do not need to worry. (At least this is what I think now.) I do not know much about wajig since I hardly used it. It looks interesing but this "simplicity" requires me to learn new things. Also this is not new tool with really new functionality but just a wrapper.
