Another reason I like aptitude is that it logs all changes (like
Synaptic) in /var/log/aptitude.

If you think you've broken something when you installed something new
recently you can review what has been installed.

The other reason (not relevant to Tony) is that it is better for remote
administration compared to Synaptic (since many servers do not have a
graphical desktop running).
