+MAAN. Just exploring these past 5-10 minutes. There is already so many options. This is so freaking cool.   Im a beginner somewhat when it comes to Logic and more custom stuff, but it seems pretty easy to mess with, even for someone like me.     
+
+And you can create and even IMPORT you're own assets. Thats INSANE.

+I feel half of the problem is that people don't quite understand when branching actually occurs, and then get convinced by the whole "ternary/if-else is bad because branching".
+This clarification helps, but I'm thinking more could be said about when complex branching does happen

+I think we need deeper write-ups on this subject as well. 
+Like what about the case where the condition isn't constant? What if every fragment potentially has a completely different outcome. Are there any predictions we can make without just testing and profiling?

+You didn’t show the compiler assembly for the mix alternative. I’m not saying you’re wrong but we can’t verify if only the desired conclusion is shown. I have also heard to never us if statements too and it’s be great to see the assembly to compare.

+This greatly depends. Try doing this per-channel on a vec3 or vec4, and you'll realize that the 'mix()' version creates a LOT less assembly code. I tested this with my GLSL code for converting to and from sRGB, using one of the online tools linked to in other responses.

+I'd say ALWAYS look at the generated assembly when you care about optimizations. I've seen NVidia compilers still generated branches even with the ternary operator if arguments are expressions. To be sure have float a = ..., float b = ..., and then float c = (x < 0.5) ? a : b;

+
+The fear of branching is still so strong.
+
+I think people often see using ‘step’ or other tricks as guarantee that there will be no branching, while using ‘if’ means that we solely rely on compiler to do the right thing, while nothing is promised.

+a * x + b * (1.0 - x)
+
+Assuming x is 0 or 1?. And if you're using the full normalized number range (0-1), could you use round(x) first to use this?

+Thanks for that. I've been told that the "if" node wad heavier a while ago. So i was using lerp in my shaders in unreal engine. Im not even putting the step because i ensure the value to be 0 or 1 into a parameter. Someone told me that actually "if" node is not that heavy

+**1/** **@tom_forsyth** ^1888487365091733759
+
+**@iquilezles**
+
+This is so infuriating. It's advice that is 20 years out of date (maybe 15 if you're on mobile?) that was never that important to begin with, but has absolutely poisoned peoples' minds.
+
+**2/** **@iquilezles** ^1888538579502289296
+
+**@tom_forsyth**
+
+I think one reason it's so sticky is that it has a bit of code obfuscation, some math, some hardware mythology... So you think you are obviously being very "smart" when you use it.
+
+**3/** **@MarkJGx** ^1888540762083848293
+
+**@iquilezles** **@tom_forsyth**
+
+It’s super easy to get sucked into that kind of thinking because we all want to be clever. But sometimes the smartest move is the simplest one, just look at the disassembly.
+
+**4/** **@MarkJGx** ^1888541137302065649
+
+**@iquilezles** **@tom_forsyth**
+
+Lower level optimization without even looking at the disassembly is the true cardinal sin.
+
+**5/** **@tom_forsyth** ^1888556506741870595
+
+**@MarkJGx** **@iquilezles**
+
+Yeah, I'm totally fine with seeing some byzantine shader code along with a comment saying "sorry about the mess this is the only way I could get it to emit the right asm". We've all been there... :-)
