Hello Hans,
here some features of listings.sty:
- support for a lot of languages (for example C)
- easy to add further languages
- line breaking (see my email from 19. June mentioning \lstinline)
- line numbering
- different options for column alignment
- escaping to TeX
- layout elements (frames, spacing, background, captions, etc)
- indexing
- floating listings
- special treatment of comments
- a lot more...

I don't know about all the \definetyping features (only those, that are
documented), perhaps the capabilities of ConTeXt are already sufficient. On
the other side, listings.sty is a very great package and mostly written in
Plain TeX. So perhaps it's worth the effort. I don't know...

Cheers, Peter
