apt has colors, aptitude doesn't… ?

  aptitude has a nice curses interface, though, which is great for resolving conflicts or other changes that require planning

    It also usually seems to be slower to start (at least in my experience) -- I tend to not like to use it except for resolving broken packages (since it's the nicest way to do that).

      The latest version in Debian unstable (0.7.7) seems to have brought some improvements in startup time. Generally the recent progress has been very nice.
