To be fair, I don't mind the context menu once you get apps that actually use it. 7-zip in particular was a pain point for me, but it's because the developer doesn't want to use the "new" (since Windows 7) method to hook into the context menu, which is what populates the menu in 11. There's a fork called NanaZip that does that and more. Alternatively, this little tool will let you add custom entries to the context menu rather easily. I used it to get the "Add to VLC playlist" option back as that was my other major pain point.

Of course you can always do the registry hack to get the old one back, but I actually like some aspects of it.
