Contexts - a barrier too high for newbies?

I’m glad I’m not the only one who does this.

I’m honestly really confused about this whole conversation in the first place. So I’ve largely ignored it.

Please forgive me for my ignorance, but why are we arguing over generators?

I mean, if you don’t understand Contexts and need to get something done then don’t use them.
If you feel like Contexts just don’t suite your application’s needs then don’t use them.
If just don’t like Contexts, then don’t use them.

Personally, I think that the Phoenix Core Team saw using Contexts as beneficial enough to change the generators. These kinds of changes aren’t made lightly.

I happily defer hard design decisions to anyone else that’s not me. But if I don’t like your decision, I’m not above doing my own thing.
