That should probably say:

The typesetting is done using XeTeX, and I don't believe it would've  
been as effective using any other tool --- specifically I used  
xelatex, 'cause I'm not cool and hip enough to know ConTeXt well  
enough to've been able to develop it in ConTeXt in a reasonable  
timeframe, even though in many ways that would've made for a cleaner  
interface to the server.
