Combine if statement and advanced conditional together, i never understood why they are separated when they both do the same thing, and also make a elif and else options
Long story short, the 2 are separate blocks for user simplicity. You and I know they can do different things but others may be intimidated to use an if statement if there are too many options or is too crowded. I typically don’t use Regex for the reason of I don’t fully understand it’s internal workings so it’s harder for me to diagnose my own errors meaning progress is slower, same could be said for less experienced users and more complicated blocks
TLDR: There are reasons
This has been suggested in the past. Just because it is there doesn’t mean that you have to use it. People like, use, and understand it, so why break their workflows?
Else (and by extension else if) is planned. It’ll be available for all conditional-type blocks when it is added (standard if statements, advanced conditionals, and the handful of other conditional blocks).
