A philosophical one:Who's behind ConTeXt?

[Vittorio <v.demart@libero.it>]

I produce many school reports (many pictures, big fonts 14pt up) to
help my daughters, reports and letters for my work.

I'd like to start using ConTeXt instead of LaTeX but there's
something in a corner of my mind saying 'Be Careful! Keep Calm'.

Yes, for my use ConTeXt looks more modern, more logical, and simpler
to deal with than its older competitor but LaTeX has and will have a
huge group of contributors/supporters around the world that sounds
like a 'life warranty'.By contrast, ConTeXt seems to me too much tied
and double-tied to HANS HAGEN only or, in any case, to a very small
group of contributors.

Is that hunch of mine true?

And what about 'stability' of ConTeXt? I've read that sometimes it is
unstable.

Ciao
