The way I see it version 3.0 is huge step back. A lot of useful functionality gone, only bugs added. Probably the only feature that I do not miss is the usage of tags - never found them being useful.
All other stuff just disappoints:

1) Search is limited to 4 symbols, if you are going to introduce such feature have it disabled by default, and switch to turn it on well hidden
2) The search return unpredicted result, I can find these packages with apt-get, but they are not listed in adept manager
3) Packages are not listed
4) There is no list of all packages
5) There is no way to see complete description of package for some packages
6) During some operations you can see 'Fail' statement, but passes so fast and latter on, no way to see what was wrong.
7) There is no way to have more than one filter.

I really can continue this list for very long. My suggestion is take a previous version of Adept and put as many things back as you can. BTW layout before was better too. It was ugly but better.

I am thinking about installing synaptic, I do not want to, but have no other idea how to manage packages, unless go to command line tools completely.
