I’ve seen :GetChildren() and :children() used in scripts, I learned about GetChildren() at first but since :children() is faster to type I’ve just been using it instead. Is there any objective difference?
Where do you see people use :children()?
Yes, :children() has been deprecated, and it’s not a good idea to use deprecated functions

:GetChildren() is the updated version of :children(), what does this mean? If :children() has a bug, they won’t fix it.
children is deprecated and I don’t think people use it anymore. GetChildren does the same thing as children but roblox changed it just to be consistent with style
Oh yea :children() is superseded by :GetChildren() to avoid bugs or problems.
It is deprecated, not a bug, which means you still shouldn’t use it
I didn’t say that, I say that if you get a bug, they won’t fix it.

Oh my bad. Yes, since it is deprecated. If anything is marked as deprecated, it means that Roblox have either replaced it with something more updated or they have no intentions on supporting it any longer.

Other peoples’ code e.g. leaked game files, free models, etc.
Why do you think they would replace children with GetChildren?
Surely for a better understanding, children() just sounds weird like that and refers to one.
