Using ConTeXt for a thesis?

["Manuel P." <ayeye.sysforge@gmail.com>]

Hi everyone! This is my first post here.

I've a limited (but sufficient) experience with LaTeX (I've written 
several work-related documents with it) and now I have to write my 
undergraduate thesis (the deadline is mid-january 2010). I've been fairy 
impressed by a book typesetted with ConTeXt, so I used it for some 
documents and liked the idea and the configurability. The possibility of 
having a unique and personalized look-and-feel for every document is 
very appealing to me, and I have already began to assemble a style for 
the thesis.

However, I've a very limited experience with it and I wonder: is ConTeXt 
the right choice in my circumstances? Can it be used without a degree in 
typography? I can't write half thesis and then stumble on some obscure 
(to me) typesetting problem, things have to be smooth and I need to 
concentrate on content (but I still find desiderable a good unique 
look). When I have a problem I try my best to resolve it by myself, but 
given the limited time I can't learn and investigate everything, so if 
I'll write my thesis in ConTeXt in some (desperate) cases I'll need your 
help.

What do you think?

Thank you all!

PS: I live in Italy, sorry for my probably imperfect english!
