Thank you, Hans. But my argument for default Times (or other font) is 
that it supports Cyrillic, while LM does not.
I think that Cyrillic users deserve to be able write something like
\starttext
Привет мир! (Hello World)
\stoptext
and get right output with no setup.

My another question remains: how to use other Gyre fonts in most simple way?

Best,
Vyactheslav

We hat this topic a while ago and Hans suggested one should
write a mail to the Latin Modern team to include cyrillic.

Using Times as default font is no option.

See below, a few fonts are missing but I will provide the typescripts  
and
send it to Hans.

% Palatino

\usetypescript[palatino]
\setupbodyfont[palatino]

% Times

\usetypescript[times]
\setupbodyfont[times]

or

\usetypescript[postscript]
\setupbodyfont[postscript]

% Helvetica

\usetypescript[postscript]
\setupbodyfont[postscript,ss]

% Courier

\usetypescript[postscript]
\setupbodyfont[postscript,tt]
