I have been using synaptic exclusively for nearly a year, and have experienced none of the woes others on this list say they are encountering with aptitude and apt-get. I am not a crusader regarding this matter. Synaptic works for me and has been trouble-free. And, importantly, it is not nearly as easy to get in trouble when using synaptic as it is when using aptitude or apt-get; I speak from experience.
