No seriously though, I aliased the apt command to nala and I use it instead.
It works nicely with grc for colors in the console and more importantly it supports simultaneous downloads so it runs through a large queue of updates much more quickly.
If you’re a user interacting with a terminal => apt
If you’re writing a script or putting it in a docker file/automation => apt-get
Apt is just a wrapper around apt-get a newer binary than apt-get (I stand corrected after checking my memory against google) and there are warnings that the apt shorthand is not as reliable in scripted scenarios. Its meant for user convenience.
The crazy thing is, you would probably want to name it something direct and memorable like LINUX APP STORE to market it to the masses. Have a tag line like “it’s all free!” or whatever.
In the Super Bowl (no affiliation to c/superbowl) commercial, we’ll hear some grandma questioning whether the things on her new laptop were free from restrictions or free from cost, and her jock grandson will look right into the camera and say “yes!”
If you read the man page for pacman, it helps. S stands for synchronise, Q for query (local), F is for find (remote), R is for remove. The following sub options (yu after -S) are specific to each main option.

I tried Arch once and they use Pacman for everything.
It’s like Pacman -sY to install. Makes no sense.
At least the AUR is cool.
One day, Linux will have a nice, unified, polished application portal (not store because god forbid we see a LINUX APP STORE).
For everything else there’s git.
Git clone Make Pacman -sY lethal company Sudo chmod +x ./home/user/games/lethal_company.x86_64

yay -Syu yay (application name) It just searches repos and AUR in one go. Manages everything like Pacman. I quite like it.
Yay!
