It's not recommended because its dependency resolution isn't quite
identical to the one used by apt-get, and isn't the one that is
generally tested. Also, certain features are added to aptitude after
they have been added to apt-get, which may result in problems.
Multiarch support is one example that comes to mind, and had caused
pain for some users.<br>
<br>
That being said, a lot of people like Aptitude. Just remember that
using it may result in a slight chance of getting stuck with a
package dependency or installation issue.<br>
