everyone's referencing 'synaptic'; is it considered superior to

I prefer the 'apt-get'/'aptitude' in general but will use whatever

so here's an example. I do:
sudo apt-get remove korn-trinity
and I get a whole list of stuff to autoremove. I've included it after my
signature. some of this stuff I want to retain.
Using Synaptic, you'd select any you want to keep, go to the Package menu,
and uncheck "Automatically installed". Or if you prefer, you can use
apt-mark to mark them as manually installed (see man apt-mark).
