ConTeXt peaple always have used to say that ConTeXt is better than LaTeX.
I have been recieving emails from CoNTeXt list and it seems that ConTeXt has heaps of bugs.
Staying at an older version of ConTeXt (for example, I always use ConTeXt 2005.01 distributed in teTeX 3.0 for book and journal production) will have less bugs. And if bugs were found in these versions, they were always already been fixed some month after this release, so just copy the related code in the later versions to your tex file and then everything works fine again. (in fact, I found no serious bugs in that version).
LaTeX rocks...!
Latex always run into problems here. hyperlink sometimes give me weird characters (it will always give wierd characters if the link contains CJK characters due to the bug in hyperref, whatever driver and engine you are using). packages are incompatible with each other and always runs into problem (I should keep in mind that package A should loaded before package B, and package A-fix should be place after package B to fix the incompatibility in package A and B, most packages have this problem, just to name a few: memoir, hyperref, amsmath, lucidabr, mnsymbol... ). And I cannot do grid typesetting or other advanced stuffs there. In fact, Plain TeX rocks! If you find bug in plain TeX, you can be famous overnight! (and I also love Karl Berry's eplain format, it's lightweight and powerful.)
