> This post is meant to be a definitive set of answers to the "Redux vs Context?" question, covering purpose, capabilities, use cases, and when to use each.

Sure, I'm obviously biased on the topic in that sense, but I'm an expert in this domain and I did my best to cover this as objectively as possible:
- I stated the background, purposes, use cases, and capabilities of Context and Redux
- I defined what "state management" is, provided supporting evidence, and showed why Context does not match that definition
- I provided concrete guidance for when it makes sense to use each of these tools, and then offered my personal opinion (clearly labeled as such) for when I would prefer to use Redux in some situations.
