Why is this better than kubectl config use-context?

kubectl already has a way to set your current context (kubectl config use-context). Why would I use this instead?

I don't think it was possible when I first wrote this utility. See e.g. https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/issues/10735. It looks like kubectl config use-context does the trick now, though. The only drawback is that it doesn't provide a cue in the shell.

@andremarianiello It may also be worthwhile to ask this of https://github.com/ahmetb/kubectx, as the maintainer is also on the Kubernetes team.
