I'm using KDE right now and for me Synaptic is better than Adept ( I use it 
too). There seems to be to many input form and search in Adept and I didnt 
need that. The other minus is it doesn;t infrm us if the package we 
downloaded is missing one ore more (like when the internet is down or 
something). It just download and install without confimation do we wanna 
install the broken package or not. If you want something simple and usable, 
try Kynaptic on KDE. To be honest Kynaptic has less features than both Adept 
and Synaptic but friendlier and informative enough to me than Adept :p
