Ubuntu Utopic has recently introduced a new package management frontend named apt (manpage) which provides a sort of high-level interface to tools apt-get, apt-cache and some other tools in the apt-* family.

Similar to this question about apt-get vs. aptitude, I am curious if apt is a real replacement for aptitude or if there are use cases that require aptitude?


As of 16.04, Xenial, installation command suggestions have changed from apt-get install notinstalledpackage to apt install.
