That is also a GUI for the Debian package management system (aptitude,
dpkg, .deb packages etc). It uses the GTK library to provide a GUI for
the APT libraries.

There are many:-

Apper is now the default for KDE in some distros -

Technically, aptitude is also a Debian package manager GUI.

At a low level they all work with dpkg, and they all do as advertised
(just work). For many of us the CLI tool, apt-get, is all we need.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Package_manager provides an overview of
different package management systems.

Whatever works for you is the best tool IMO.
