In Cydia’s latest update there are major improvments to functionality and usability. After installing this update you will prompted to select your “user profile”. You have three choices; User (graphical apps), Hacker (command line apps), or Developer (all apps). The point of these profiles is hide all the development or command line tools that many average app users don’t care for. This will make navigating to what you want quicker by cutting out all the fat you don’t need, of course you can always change your profile later on by accessing Settings under the new ‘Manage’ feature.
This new ‘Manage’ feature is the bulk of the update with two current options for ‘Sources’ or ‘Packages’ and an ominous coming soon third option that you can’t select labeled ‘Storage’.
If you select the ‘Packages’ option you will be taken to a new screen that will allow you actually turn on/off (hide/unhide) any Cydia categories. This gives you another way to reduce bloat and keep a streamlined interface customized to your needs.
