yes, true.

Not entirely (see below).

I have been recieving emails from CoNTeXt list and it seems that ConTeXt has heaps of bugs.

There are some bugs.

As in most software projects. And, that;s true, there _are_ lots of bugs in ConTeXt. But still, it is very usable.

LaTeX rocks...!

true, if you are from LaTeX peaple.

Well, I've been using LaTeX for several years and I don't think it to be really rocking. And neither is ConTeXt (yet) - see below.

And the question is: why to start yet another flame war?

I am the proof (by example) that the sets of plain TeX people, LaTeX people and ConTeXt people have a nonempty intersection. There are areas where LaTeX is much better than ConTeXt: when I write a paper on maths, almost no journal will accept ConTeXt. Also, LaTeX is very stable and ConTeXt is not. OTOH, when ConTeXt reaches the maturity level of LaTeX, it _will_ be much better - but we'll have to wait a while for it to happen.
