For quite some time the more uniform 'apt' frontend really didn't exist at all.

  Indeed. The "apt" frontend was added in 2014 and included in a stable release in 2015. So I don't know what tool other than apt-get could "guides first written before 2015" use.

    aptitude. And before that, dselect (which I believe predated APT entirely).

      Oh my, I don't miss the dselect days. OTOH aptitude is, to this day, a joy to use.
