React’s `use()` API is about to make useContext obsolete

SMRTR summary

React's new use() API offers significant improvements over useContext by enabling developers to handle both global state and asynchronous data in a simpler way. This API eliminates the need for multiple hooks (useState, useEffect) when fetching data, allowing developers to unwrap promises directly in components while working seamlessly with Suspense and ErrorBoundary for smoother loading experiences and error handling. While requiring stable, memoized promises to avoid infinite loops, use() creates cleaner, more intuitive code for state management.
