@Steven the old `If` node used the following DesignScript code under the hood:  
`result = test_condition ? truevalue : falsevalue;`  
This DS conditional statement replicates over all 3 inputs, namely, `test_condition`, `truevalue`, and `falsevalue`.  
The new If node, uses the following DS code under the hood:  
`[truevalue, falsevalue][test_condition ? 0 : 1];`  
This new code does not replicate over `truevalue` or `falsevalue` but continues to replicate over `test_condition`.  
So to answer your question, the original DS conditional statement has **not** changed in behaviour. We have only replaced the underlying guts of the `If` **node** to make it more intuitive.
