I like the in-progress `git checkout` split to `git switch` and `git restore`. (switch and restore are still marked "experimental" in the official documentation in case their arguments change again, but in my experience they are already pretty dependable.) It's much less likely to accidentally do the wrong thing with either of the two replacements. That's one of the things that I think if that split had been done years ago there would be a lot fewer complaints about git being confusing in the base commands; `git checkout` was always an odd duck sadly (it makes sense why it was a single command from a technical sense but it probably shouldn't have ever been from a UX/DX sense).

I like it too, unfortunately it will take decades before books, tutorials and google search results can catch up.

It is the same fate as any cli application that needs to maintain backwards compatibility because it is used both by humans and programmatically as part of scripts. My favorite example of this dd. Most tutorials still show using dd against /dev/sda1 etc instead of using device names as humans should, and meanwhile people keep shooting themselves in the foot.
