What I like about aptitude is that it has a text gui, in addition to the command line switches. Great for when you need to search through many different packages, read their description, follow dependencies and recommendations between packages in the dependency tree. That and the fact that it remembers which package(s) just "came along" another package that I explicitly selected to be installed, so that when you uninstall that package everything it needed will be removed too. I was never able to keep the system "clean" of stray package before.
