Still, thats just a matter of opinion. I personally have never found anything I need to do I cannot with apt-get. I haven't really tried aptitude so cannot comment how much better it might be.

There must be some reason why apt-get is favoured by default over aptitude. Most things like this aren't done for totally random reasons.
