I'm getting the impression that there's no real-world distinction between
ConTeXt users and ConTeXt developers.

I mean that to use ConTeXt at its full potential one must write his
own setups and macros and the best source
is the in base/* .
TeX is a (macro) programming language so "with TeX" means "with a
program written in TeX" .
ConTeXt is a TeX format that offers a powerful way to program in TeX
(and with mkiv we also have a "classical" language like Lua)
but user is expected to have an "active role" and cook his own
solution --- ConTeXt is like Lego .
On other side, there is only one ConTeXt developer --- Hans Hagen ---
and this model of development is ok in this context because otherwise
things can become too much messes ( eg conflicts between LaTeX
packages) because TeX is not a "traditional" language and because
digital typography is not a "traditional" computer science discipline
