Context, LaTeX, or an XML for academic writing?

You speak the truth. I really want to avoid that. I do have solid
experience with LaTeX and could start right away with it. Considering
ConTeXt comes from its clear conceptual advantages. I'm basing the
decision on whether someone can point me into a direction and say:
"use this, it looks great and you'll be content with it".

I did a presentation before with ConTeXt and exactly that was the
painful lesson I learned.

Thanks for the advice
