Apt-get versus aptitude versus synaptic

[Seth Williamson]

In Ubuntu, is it a bad idea to use more than one of these programs to
update and upgrade and install?  I first started using apt-get, then I
went to aptitude.  Then and only then did I have a vague memory of
somebody on the Libranet list saying it was a bad idea to use more than
one of these--supposedly you were supposed to pick one and stick with
it.

Is this true?
