I use aptitude ALOT, especially to uninstall things.

And from my experince it's MUCH better to solve dependices than apt-get, and at fixing broken packages.

Also Debians, documenation prefers aptitude over apt-get, and I belive they have a good reasor for this.

Personally I can't belive such a great tool as aptiude should be deleted just to save a few MBs...
