An experienced TeX user who wants to try ConTeXt is more likely to try ConTeXt distributed as part of TL rather than ConTeXt standalone. When there are serious bugs with ConTeXt TL, it gives the impression that ConTeXt is not a mature macro package.

Most of them agree that ConTeXt gives a much better result, but when it comes to how to use ConTeXt from TeXLive they are afraid and don't go further. For some of them I have installed a stand alone ConTeXt, but most of them do not update their installation, since they would not use the most recent features or improvements (for most of day to day typesettings, when one does not use complexe features, even a beta version is sufficiently stable for such users).
I find it interesting, that here and in other posts that is mention that publishers are reluctant
to accept ConTeXt files. O.K. Understandable!
But, my experience has been that they will accept PDFs, or prefer PDF over
TeX-source files or Word files.
regards
Keith.
