I totally agree. My experience with ConTeXt is that I can obtain incredible results. But I have to dig into docs, typically with no much hope,  and at the end I ask the list. The solution is typically cut and past from a guru's email :-).

Hi John,

Interestingly, this conversation has cleared up a few lingering details in
my mind re: ConTeXt. Maybe a poetry typesetting tutorial is a worthy way to
explain some key concepts?

Definite write such a tutorial. I think ConTeXt is lacking such explanations by beginners on how they understood specific ConTeXtisms. Most ConTeXt tutorials and manuals are written by users who know ConTeXt too well to realize what others may find to be confusing.

Best Wishes,
Aditya
