it takes a good 20 seconds every single time you use it – why the hell don’t they cache the results of whatever the hell it’s doing, so that after it’s done it once, it’s really quick to use after that.

If you think that dependency resolution is what makes Debian package management via apt so good, then you’re completely missing the point.
