Trading between apt-get and aptitude is not advisable.Other than that. I don't know why I would use it. No info on packages, no info on supported versions, no info on last update. Google > "app's_name"+ppa works just fine. I suggest staying consistent. Trading between apt-get and aptitude is not advisable.

You should have a look at the author first and see if he can be trusted. The idea itself is nice of course, but one should not forget that you should not trust every PPA blindly.

Other then that, it just proves to the Linux/Ubuntu community that it's possible to have this kind of feature in the upcoming Ubuntu Software Center =D Would be very nice if there is 1 application which combines the features of Update Manager, Synaptic and USC =D So David Ainley makes a nifty application, he doesn’t do multiple commands in the terminal?
