There are some packages, but where LaTeX needs packages to add basic
functionality, ConTeXt contains everything you need and provides abundant
hooks to get almost all the functionality you want.
LaTeX packages bite each other sometimes, no such thing with ConTeXt.
And yes, ConTeXt has longtables.

Yes. Because in this case layout is less important so if it looks awful,
it's no problem. Get ConTeXt for the really beautiful documents.
