I do agree! Just occasionally, I fire up synaptic to browse a category,
say stuff to do with sound, or mail for example. It is slightly easier
in synaptic to browse than it is in aptitude. And I wish you could
reverse direction in mid-search in aptitude. I often race past a
relevant match by being too quick on the "n". If only "b" for back or
"p" for previous or "N" or whatever switched the direction without
having to reenter the search using \ or page up enough times to probably
pass whatever it was you didn't quite see...
Anyway, niggles apart, aptitude rules OK.
