I disagree. According to Debian’s own documentation, apt is a newer front-end for your daily CLI updating and installing needs.
It has simplified syntax, and combines the most-used functions and options.
It is not meant for use in scripts, cause the syntax may change between versions.
The dependency-solver in the back-end is identical.
tl/dr:
apt is shorter to type and will have prettier output, starting with Debian 13.
Use apt-get inside scripts.

I can concur, thats what my research also indicates. Plus I am too lazy to type apt-get
Uh!? I’ve been lied to! Editing comment for clarity
