I've used both, but only aptitude has managed to screw up my systems
more than once, so I stick with apt now. The nice thing is that apt had
picked up all the features that I used to use aptitude for.
Recently I noticed that the apt suite of programs added a wrapper to all
the programs called apt. The nice this about using apt instead of
apt-get is that it adds a progress bar to installs... so no more sitting
around wondering how much longer your install is going to take. You can
also use pretty much use all the options that you use with apt-get and
apt-cache and it will just do the right thing, athough they did change
the dist-upgrade to full-upgrade.
