Blazing fast, highly organized (not just a jumble of text and numbers thrown at the user), and highly reliable (apt had a problem doing upgrade because of a 404, nala didn't blink and found a mirror, and I suspect even if it couldn't it wouldn't trash the whole upgrade without offering to continue on the remaining packages). When can has replace apt?

apt is good, but nala is best.

What is nala?

apt replacement. apt-get replacement. aptitude replacement.

nala is what apt should have been. Faster, stronger, better.

FROM THE DEVELOPER: "Nala is a front-end for libapt-pkg. Specifically we interface using the python-apt api. Especially for newer users it can be hard to understand what apt is trying to do when installing or upgrading. We aim to solve this by not showing some redundant messages, formatting the packages better, and using color to show specifically what will happen with a package during install, removal, or an upgrade."
