You're not the only person who didn't enjoy dselect. I was comfortable
with it, personally. In fact, only recently (~2-3 years) did I stop
using it.

It took me a little while to get used to aptitude. Once I got used
to it, I found I like it much, much better. I've spent a lot of time
dependancy surfing, whether it is to try another tool using a common
library, or it is to remove everything that uses a GNOME library... I,
perhaps perversely, find it a lot of fun.
