Asking from curiosity, what is the problem you had with apt? I'm using Debian close to 20 years now, and liked Debian and .deb a lot, more then RPM even.
Honestly, having built some packages and maintaining a derivative provided me more insight than a regular user, but even before that I was using Debian without any problems.
BTW, Ubuntu is not Debian with a different UI. They're pretty different on fundamental things, even.

A broken pre/post install script (often the problem is not expecting the current state of your machine) that fails while running `apt-get install -f` it the common culprit.
