Hello Mats,
I agree with you: ConTeXt is certainly superior to LaTeX, but sometimes, I
know how to do a special thing in LaTeX, but not in ConTeXt. Often I don't
know, if a special feature is already there but undocumented, or not.
Sometimes, I find a sort of "workaround" to get some LaTeX behaviour,
for example "\flushbottom".
For beginners there is the document
http://www.berenddeboer.net/tex/LaTeX2ConTeXt.pdf by Berend de Boer.
It would be nice, to have something like this for advanced topics, such as
varioref or lettrine. These special "LaTeX to ConTeXt" examples can then be
added to the ConTeXt-wiki: http://contextgarden.net/From_LaTeX_to_ConTeXt
Cheers, Peter
