cx vs. context

Template:cx is literally a redirect to Template:context, that is just like saying that a recent poll said people prefer obfuscation. I understand why people might like using cx when they are crating a line, since it is less typing, but I can't imagine why a less descriptive template would be preferred if it was the same amount of work.

I for one prefer cx, and not just for typing. The poll is at Wiktionary:Votes/2014-08/Templates context and label.

What other benefit might cx have?

cx puts more visual emphasis on the context itself. Like, in cx|colloquial, colloquial is more visually outstanding than in context|colloquial. And it leaves more visual prominence to the definition itself.

On a related note, adding the lang= before the vote on migration to template lb/label is over seems suboptimal: once the vote is over, you will be able to add language and switch to template lb/label in one step.

Strictly speaking, doing it as a bot violates WT:BOT#Policy but doing it as a human user is fine, as it violates nothing.
