newhoa liked Synaptic
Simple to use, maybe lacks little icons to represent the software. I miss it on windows, just installing 1000+ packages in a single time on a fresh install is impossible on windows. One click update is awesome. Also the search possibility is easy.
Multiple PPA support Can force specific version Autoremove
KISS but still usable for unexperienced Users
I use this a lot, because I am on Ubuntu. Even though there is an Add/Remove program utility, this usually has more and I can find things easier in it. If something is not in the list of programs I just add or update my repository.
