Phasing out Synaptic, would be complete insanity,
since Canonical Software center IS insane by default.
First thing I do is installing synaptic to actually do package
management and installing.
Software center does not allow even displaying software licenses before
install,
and that goes against free software rules, that every user must see
License of software he is installing, before installation and Software
center is deliberately disabling that information to the user...
Actually I think this is more for user mailing list question, but for
developer one, but yet, had to answer.
