I think I read some where that synaptic is a front end for apt.
Also think it was recommended to stay with apt or aptitude, but I'm not sure if that dates to when some Debian developers or maintainers were hating one or the other ?
Anyway, when I don't use synaptic I use apt.
You must learn from the mistakes of others. You can't possibly live long enough to make them all yourself.
