Braid and fluoro are on total opposite ends of the spectrum, so it's not something you can really "make the switch to". Those who use braid on everything are shooting themselves in the foot imo. Fluoro is great in clear water, it's very abrasion resistant, and it has good slack line sensitivity. It does stretch, but some heavier flipping lines are pretty stout. Also it's important you buy quality line, the negative is it's expensive. Cheap line will eventually ruin your day.
Braid however has zero stretch, and it's great for heavy grass, topwaters, and on spinning reels when using a leader. It shreds through grass, but has zero abrasion resistance, so rocks, wood, docks, or anything else that can fray line will chew braid up. It also has zero slack line sensitivity, so if it's a bit windy and you're dragging a football jig, for example, you'd feel nothing.

Use it the other way around; braid for your main line and fluoro for the leader.
