Why was ReactContext chosen for state management? #974

Description

@mfbx9da4

AFIK, React Context is really not intended for state management and requires heavy amounts of memoization to avoid unnecessary re-renders. What is the justification for using ReactContext for state management?

there is no way for a component that consumes a context to skip updates caused by new context values, even if it only cares about part of a new value.
