"let me count the ways" - 1,2 ...I am already confused. Should I use add/remove or just Synaptic? Where are the applications on Synaptic? Why the application or the version of the application I need is not in my repositories even though the application has been "out there" for 6 month already? Why there are so much crappy or unusable apps on add/remove, really? Why do I have to deal with all those repositories? Can't a software maker just make one installer for Linux? Why not? Too windoze like (this is the most stupid argument)? There are no unified APIs to write against? Why not? So how do I install regexxer on OpenSuse? So this ultishmucktux, is it contributing to the problem of application-installation-fragmentation on Linux or is it helping to solve it?
By itself it is decent tool, however in the above context it is a no helper.
