Thanks for all the information, and for helping me update and refine my
view of the (TeX) world.
For the project I'm doing now, which involves creating "desktop
publishing type" documents (multiple text flows, explicit control of
placement of text and graphic elements, etc.), ConTeXt seems to be
winning hand's down. I may also be using the XML features, so that's
another plus.
However, I'm also attracted by the stability and widespread use of plain
TeX and LaTeX.
It's clear from this that whatever path I take, there are lots of very
knowledgeable and helpful people to get me over the hurdles.
Thank you!
