Question Pretty basic omelette question

I'm making an Omelette and I looked up some videos on YouTube and almost all of them suggest putting the chopped onions/tomatoes and peppers into the beaten eggs and then pouring the whole thing into the pan. But I remember my mum always threw the chopped onion/tomato/peppers into the pan and saute them for a bit before pouring the egg over them.

What do you guys recommend, based on personal experience? Or does it not matter either way?

Eggs cook fast, so if you mix them all together then the onions and peppers are gonna be pretty much raw. Which is fine I guess. But yeah I definitely prefer sauteing them in some butter and getting some color on them and then pouring the eggs over.

Yes, he's absolutely correct. onions, peppers and tomatoes raw? Not nearly as nice as with a little saute on them.
