Good idea. I think that would partly address the consistency problems, be more accessible to new users, and easier to explain in the documentation.

Not that it makes much difference to me personally. One of the first things I did when I started using Git was set up two shell aliases (not Git aliases) seeing as looking at my staged and unstaged changes is for me such an extremely frequent operation:

   alias staged='git diff --cached'
   alias unstaged='git diff'
