A question for you

["Idris Samawi Hamid" <ishamid@colostate.edu>]

Dear fellow gangsters,

I have a question for you all, recalling an exchange with John Culleton  
last fall:

http://www.ntg.nl/pipermail/ntg-context/2005/013498.html

In your views, what are the strengths and weaknesses of ConTeXt? For  
example, under what circumstances do you prefer to use a word processor  
(Word/OOo), a layout processor (InDesign), or just Plain(e)TeX over  
ConTeXt? (Actually the link above deals with Plain TeX but just in case  
you have anything to add).

In Maps 33-2005 Taco did an article based on our answers to the question,  
"What do you do with ConTeXt"? I would like to see the answers to the  
_opposite_ question:

Which typesetting tasks do you NOT do in ConTeXt, and what do you prefer  
to use for those tasks?

A corallary question:

What typesetting tasks do you find difficult-to-onerous in ConTeXt (even  
in nothing else is available)?

Your insights will be very much appreciated. I for one look forward to the  
day ConTeXt takes over the world!

Take care and all the

Best
Idris
