"apt" is meant to be the user facing version. No concerns about backwards compatibility or anything. It's purely user experience focused. If they want to change to "apt get" for installing because they feel its good UX, they will (they probably wont, because that sounds awfully confusing) "apt-get" is meant to be used in scripts/automation. "apt-get install foo" will always behave the same way with the same params.
