    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.
