First of all I was blown like nothing came to my mind and then I was like Redux contains a lot of boiler plate while context is very much simpler. I even went after saying even its cofounder Dan Abramov said he doesn't like using Redux.<br> Well he insisted like no there's other main difference regarding the scope that you have to tell. Well I gave up and then he told me that redux is global scope while context was components scope. Since then I kind of couldn't get over it. Like if this is the case then learning redux (although I don't like it) is essential as more and more companies are using it. What is your stance on it. Will be very glad to see the responses.</p> react
