The stock vim context syntax highlighting ist terrible, indeed. I
modified the syntax files, the result is still terrible (and reflect
my personal context writing style instead of being general), but for
me they're better than the original ones. Then I contacted Nikolai
with the patches a while ago. He told me that he's not maintaining
the syntax files any longer and if I want to take over
maintainership. I declined because I know I wouldn't have much time
at my disposal the next months.

While I agree on that one, writing \math{x^2} clearly states what it
is. TeX tradition aside, dollar signs make no sense here and you
have to manually match beginning and end. Braces are matched
automatically (probably depends on the editor as well).
