Notice how Add/Remove doesn't require a password to install. It installs all dependencies as well. Synaptic contains previous versions of software, additional libraries and documentation (notice the "Documentation" and "Libraries" section), etc. Add/Remove is basically a watered down Synaptic. Most CLI programs and packages will be in Synaptic, such as compilers, interpreters, etc. -- Jonathan Hills
