how about create-file or new-empty-buffer
I guess the "spittle-in-the-beard" unix crowd never creates files, but the rest of us do. Even emacs has finally added commands for this (v. 27 and above). Only took them 30+ years so you have time...!
Hahaha, creating a file it's just creating a buffer adding some text and save it. But indeed having a command to create an empty file is quite handy (and it should be quite easy to add).
I tried that and I must have done something wrong. Is the command to create a buffer different than switching to another buffer. I could not name the new buffer.

@lewisl I just tried: use C-x C-f to open a file, but give it the name of a new file. This creates a buffer with the given name, the file still doesn't exist. Write content, save the file.
If I use C-x b to switch buffers, I can give it a new name, it creates a new buffer, but C-x C-s did not work. I had to use M-x write-file.
Good. I’ll give that a shot. It’s fine to have to save the buffer; that’s the goal after all.

Thank you for the interesting issue.
I think so if there are no files associated when C-x C-s, it is better to change to the behavior of C-x C-w.
