Furthermore let me doubt that a simplified installation it's enough to
persuade new users since ConTeXt requires manuals reading which is
universally considered a waste of time.

Hmm, Diego, that's not the point IMHO. 
We have to decouple installation from use. I'm an example of a user who will appreciate a simplified installer and will keep reading manuals (Matthias seems to agree with me).

It's  an interesting thread, but at the end I'm convinced that, simply, we are in a do-cracy. If Oliver has time, he will release an installer for mac. Otherwise, Andrea Valle will simply keep complaining.
Obviously, Hans has more important things to do (I'm pretty serious here).
