Hello,
I would like to have a rough estimate about the number of MacTeX users that also use ConTeXt minimals (I use MacTeX for compiling LaTeX documents and often also use it for a month or two ... until it starts diverging too much with Minimals). [...] One problem that I'm not sure about is how to treat multiple installation on the same machine. The other one is the need for quick switches between distributions without GUI (I have a script texdist in /usr/local/bin, but I'm not sure if that one is up to date.)
I use MacTeX (but really only TeX Live as I seldom use the GUI tools in MacTeX)
for LaTeX and ConTeXt when it works; when ConTeXt in MacTeX breaks I
switch to Minimals.
I use a command-line tool, environment modules (experimental tcl
version from http://modules.sourceforge.net/), to switch between TeX
distros. This adjusts the
environment in the current shell.
