Or lets ask the devils advocate the other way around: What is the point of installing context, when latex could do the trick? Apart that I have to re-learn latex anyway.. what is better with Context?
- ConTeXt's scripts know how often your sources need to be run - more freedom in design (but some prefer LaTeX's "fixed" document classes) - more coherent interface (key=value syntax) - better support for modern features, esp. with LuaTeX - integration of external packages like MetaPost, GNUplot etc., see http://modules.contextgarden.net/ - easy font installation (or no installation at all with XeTeX or LuaTeX) Please don't forget...
