"With the Ubuntu Software Store, Canonical is hoping to unify all of the different package management needs into a single, unified interface. While this will not be achieved in Ubuntu 9.10, Canonical is hoping that all of the capabilities of the update-manager, Synaptic, the computer janitor application, gdebi, and other package management-related programs will be merged into Ubuntu Software Store. When this has occurred, it will be easier on the new end-user having to just deal with a single program to provide all of this functionality."

I agree! While I don't use KDE very often, the few times that I do I realize how sweet Synaptic is and how crap both Adept and Kpackage are. I try to stick with QT when in KDE and with GTK when I'm in most other environments (since most of them do use GTK natively, with the exception of Enlightenment.)
I just can't do it with the package management though. Adept and Kpackage seriously need some love.
