Otoh, there is nothing even remotely close to ConteXt when it comes to quality typesetting. ConTeXt is simply what LaTeX2e was supposed to be and the state of LaTeX3 is not very promising i nthe sense of having some release soon. If I'd be asked, my proposal would be for all LaTeX users to simply invest some time in learning to migrate to ConTeXt and similar advice for the developers as well which could skyrocket development of ConTeXt as well having ability to 'program' using Lua via LuaTeX.
