I use it, it is one of the few things I found very nice about Gnome.  However, 
I did find as I installed Kubuntu on a friends that there was missing in the 
install some gtk things which makes the repository menus present all the 
needed info to make handling easier.  On my system since it came 
pre-installed with Ubuntu, when I added Kubuntu everything worked as it 
should anyway as all the Gnome system is on the drive as well.  I haven't 
booted into Gnome in months but use both the Synaptic package manager and the 
Update manager with no problems in Kubuntu.
