I'd agree that the dependency resolver is superior. But why do most folk use apt-get? apt-get is a pain to go through the manual on but there are so many switches etc that with knowledge i reckon carefully studied it is a better bet. Finding orphaned packages one can use deborphan or gtk-orphan (graphical).
