I did; I heard complaints from plenty of people that aptitude (even when upgraded first, that is they were complaining about etch's aptitude) was removing way too much stuff on upgrades. At least two or three french DDs confirmed that apt-get was behaving better for them. I didn't do a lot of upgrades, and I'm quite cautious and using very similar configurations on most servers I've upgraded, plus some kernel backports: in my particular experience, aptitude behaved correctly, and I have nothing to complain about. I suppose desktop upgrades are harder. -- Loïc Minier
