(Get the code!)
I wouldn't say that it's "massively deficient", but it does have several serious bugs. Could you be more specific, e.g.
1) Which operations do you think are slow?
2) Would you be able to describe any more specific test cases? Several problems are already known.
3) How could it be easier to use? What extra features could it have?
4) Yes, you did :)
I'm not sure that integration with Add/Remove programs is such a good idea. Add/Remove programs is a user-friendly package manager, while Alacarte is a main menu editor... although they are vaguely related, I can't imagine a good way to put them together. After all, Unix is all about small specific programs doing one thing well :)
