I haven't really missed any particular feature, since each time I wanted to= do something less elementary, I found out that the feature is actually wai= ting there, and I have just to be a little bit patient and look in the manu= als or on th wiki. And if I am not patient (that is most of the time=85) so= me wizards on the list are so patient and so wise that they know how to do = things. Now, that said, I do all my presentations with ConTeXt, and there is one th= ing which should be added for more ease of use: a stepwise procedure which = can do better than the RawSteps module I use (see http://wiki.contextgarden= .net/RawSteps), and which would also work with the simpleslides modules set= up by Thomas A. Schmitz and Aditya Mahajan. Another problem one may encounter is that, as far as I know, the Mathematic= s journals do not accept yet a paper written in ConTeXt. So at some point, = when submitting the source file of the paper, one has to =AB translate =BB = ConTeXt commands into plain-TeX or LaTeX. I wish I had a script, for insta= nce go-back-2-latex.lua (or any other language) which would take as input the file my-beautiful-article.tex written in ConTeXt and turn it to = my-ugly-article.in-latex.tex. = Actually I do this manually and, despite being time consuming, I prefer to = write in ConTeXt and to translate my paper into LaTeX at the very last step.
