In some old documents. In newer documents I use \quote and \quotation. Then there are documents that need to move back and forth between latex and context but for them I can easily define appropriate macros in latex.
To be honest: I never had the slightest idea how to get proper (Slovenian, "lower nine double quote") quotation marks in LaTeX (or what's the suggested way to do it :). That's why I now use \def\quotation#1{...} in LaTeX as well (in case I need to fix other people's stuff).
Since I found ConTeXt (did only 1 LaTeX project before), I’m using \quote/\quotation IMO we are allowed to force ConTeXt users to use that or proper characters.
Some ligatures are handy indeed: -- -> endash --- -> emdash
' -> right single quote (I'm, isn't etc.)
Sure. Those three replacements/ligatures were not under a question. They should stay, IMO.
+1 from me, there seems to be no alternative if your keyboard mapping doesn’t allow to input such directly. (Even if I like to encourage people to write their own enhanced keymaps if theirs doesn’t contain what they need – my one gives me all European characters except Cyrillic ’cause I don’t need it...)
