Not entirely (see below).

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

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.
