They interoperate though, so if you’re happy with using a mix of them, go for it. I generally just use apt. EDIT: There were also some older attempts to produce a unified frontend, like aptitude.

Debian guarantee that the output format of apt-get will never change and thus it’s safe to use in scripts that parse the output, whereas they don’t have the same guarantee for apt, which can change between releases.
