Also the ConTeXt parts are more integrated than the LaTeX packages are -- think of the discussions/comments about what order LaTeX packages must be loaded. For example, the hyperref manual says to load it last "to give it a fighting chance of not being over-written, since its job is to redefine many LaTeX commands." And ConText is also an example of the free-software philosophy of "release often", sometimes twice a day! -Sanjoy `Never underestimate the evil of which men of power are capable.' --Bertrand Russell, _War Crimes in Vietnam_, chapter 1.
