What's the diffrences between Apt-get and Aptitude ?

[162019444]

I have been using 'apt-get' to install the softwares ever since the

first time I installed ubuntu successfully.



Recently I have learn the 'aptitude' method to install softwares.

Somebody said that the 'aptitude' can remove the software completely

when I don't need it.



However there is a complete removal for the software installed in the

Synaptic Package Manager.


So I just curious about the difference between them, or just the same?


Thanks in advance.

Prior to ubuntu 6.10 apt-get would not remove the dependencies when removing a package, since 6.10 apt-get now can remove them.
So prior to 6.10 aptitude did a better job of removing packages.

Now I think its just a personal choice.

Thanks a lot .

Now I can use the 'apt-get' to replace 'aptitude'at ease.
