Question: in what context (no pun intended) do you use InDesign? Where is ConTeXt not so applicable?
My main work (at home) is a bimonthly magazine ("unitarische blätter" for german unitarian religious fellowship); I know Hans (and perhaps some others) could do it with ConTeXt, but not me; I prefer to work "visible" if I use a lot of pictures and a non-scriptable layout. Further I use it as text processor for letters etc., but therefore I ever wanted to make a ConTeXt environment. At work (a daily newspaper) we use InDesign for all the ads - that is, I work there as a programmer and sysadmin, so I don't really work with InDesign but only test its PostScript code or PDFs. (Today I recognized that it always writes OPI comments for TIFFs and never for EPS, independent from your output options; further it can't separate duplex EPS from PhotoShop, only DCS...) Sorry for being OT. At work I use ConTeXt for presentations (e.g. Acrobat tutorial) and flowcharts. At home for books, my address book, my ConTeXt tutorial and some small stuff.
