git switch/git switch -c so much better than git checkout and the confusing switches.

  Not for me. Those confusing switches are already ingrained in my memory (or hidden away behind aliases) and now I find it more confusing that git is recommending new and different commands to do things that I've been doing a fixed way for years. `git restore <file>` instead of `git checkout -- <file>`is another one.

    Well, I guess the good thing here is that they're not going to remove the old checkout behaviour. And these new commands are much easier to use and understand for a beginner.

    well git checkout basically is confusing because it does two things at once. git restore and git switch basically tries to seperate the functionality. i.e. from: "git-checkout - Switch branches or restore working tree files" to - "git-switch - Switch branches" - "git-restore - Restore working tree files" tbf I found it really stupid from the beginning that it tries two things at once.
