Yes, it has gotten much better without a doubt.

However, the package management still needs to improve. One realizes that upon upgrading from one Ubuntu release to the other particularly if you have a bunch of software installed from PPAs. It would be unreasonable to expect a typical user to be able to fix the problems that it leads to.

While `apt-get` is great, you realize the limitations when you need to resort to `dpkg` when the package management is left in a broken state due to the occasional mess created upon removing a package.

I wish somebody from Canonical were looking at this thread.
