[BLUG] Apt-get vs Aptitude

Ok im sorry if this has been asked repeatedly in the past, but I just
wanted to get a simple explanation of the differences between these
two package managers. Ive done done some googling myself and I've come
across two basic answers. One is that they are just about the same and
it doesn't matter which one to use. The other answer was that aptitude
does a better job removing packages.
Are there any other differences between these two? And if Aptitude is
better at removing packages why don't more people use it?
