But just lilypond, not midi2ly etc. And you can use the PPC version on Intel, too. You could even try to install it from source without the Mac.app stuff (perhaps even via fink) - don't know if you'll run into difficult library problems, though, didn't try. That doesn't invalidate your point, though. If you install ConTeXt as a nice Mac.app, you'd need an integrated package/plugin manager and someone who provides updates and additions as suitable packages. Similar to Eclipse, perhaps, and even if that works mostly, there stay problems where you need to poke around in the file tree. Of course, since ConTeXt is much more monolithic (or "batteries included") than LaTeX (or Eclipse), you don't need a lot of packages, you could even include all known third-party modules and automate daily updates. And you could limit the font support to included LM plus system fonts. So it could be done. For OSX, that is. Maybe even multiplatform, if you use something like Python with wxPython and setuptools. But I think it's not worth the effort - who could do it, doesn't need it. As was said, you'd have to pay some developers for that - for a really small audience. Greetlings from Lake Constance!
