Why do you think I state that I do not need any of those apt frontends?

First the person you replied to says:

Pray tell, gently, what you have against the apt tools?

And to that you say:

Most notably, it crashes during updates and installs and, in some cases, has glitchy dependency resolution. I last used it a few months ago just to see how it worked.

So, you are complaining that apt crashes and has problems.

But then you say, very confusingly, that:

Synaptic, in my experience, has been far more stable.

Synaptic more stable than apt? Stuff and nonsense! Synatpic uses apt. So what are you trying to say?
