If one uses pstricks and produces dvi instead of pdf from Context two 
things happen:
1.An error message is generated.
2. Pstricks work.

This is an ugly but very easy way to use Pstricks with Context.  No
special coding is needed other than the necessary:
 \input pstricks
(and any other input statements normally required for the stuff you
are using.)

IMHO pstricks offers a much broader range of commands for everyday
needs, like generating a watermark, drawing a graph and so on,
when compared to Metapost. OTOH if one wants a really sexy special
logo etc. Metapost has the drawing tools.
