Saying that if-else statement are always bad isn't something I would do. As any other tools, it has to be use in the right place to be effective.
Sometimes, I do prefer a switch (or match expression). But sometimes, it just do not make any sense to avoid the if-else. As an example, when coding a game, you might want to know either or not an object is in front of the player. You will certainly use the dot product as it is cost efficient and then you will have to test if the result is zero or if it is a positive number above zero.
From my point of view, the if-else fits perfectly here. Again, his use has to be cautious.
At least, I think so.
