Yes but apt-get isn’t a seperate package from apt, just a seperate command. All of the apt-* commands are part of the same package, which is now Apt-3.0. This isn’t really what the user above you was asking.
I honestly don’t understand why use apt anywhere. Why don’t always use apt-get so everything’s consistent and you don’t have to keep two apis for the same job on your head?
All well and good, but that doesn’t cover “better”. Does this mean apt-get et. al. were improved, or just apt? Where’s the documentation for this “improvement”?
Anyone got a link to a meaningful description of improvement, rather than “pretty colours” and a “better package solver”?
My most frequent use of apt is inside a Dockerfile, so care factor on UI is not high and “better” isn’t a measurable metric.

Never knew that! Always wondered what this apt-get was, supposed it was some older alias or something
It kind of is. For a very long time it was the only option.

Hence my question.
