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.

Apt-get is most certainly not outdated.
