I must admit that I don't understand why having tex document is a bad habit?

Those who are authoring in ConTeXt (not DocBook) have source file (*.tex)
and they can tailor output according to their preferences. 

Otoh, DocBook document does not say much about the form - it's just a valid 
structure and therefore there are XSL stylesheets to enable one to customize 
his/her output. Without that, all the DocBook documents will look the same.  

So, I don't know what's wrong with the idea to customize the output when going 
via ConTeXt route :-[

Sincerely,
Gour
