    I use apt-get, I don't care about how "pleasing" the package manager is, I just want it to do its job and get off the way.. But pacman.. I don't know why, but it's so beautiful, charming and cute, how do they do it?

    You can have actual Pacman emoji for the progress :)

    I don't care how visually pleasing it is either, but I often find apt(-get) difficult to read.

    For example, a simple thing that zypper does, is that when listing the packages to be installed, it colors the first letter of each package, which makes it a lot easier to scan through the packages.
