The --help as well as the man page of apt are very weak. Quasi everything supported by apt-get works for apt, too and some other commands, could be partial replaced by apt. Scripts still could require usage of apt-get and other commands, apt warns that it's risky to use it for a script [1]. For experienced users apt still is not a replacement for everything, but we should use it as much as possible, to get used to it, because if we help beginners, apt is easier to remember for them.
