Yes.  If you use _both_ ConTeXt and LaTeX (and some of us - including me
- are kind of forced to use LaTeX, too, because of:
* having a number of old LaTeX files which wuold be a trouble to
  convert;
* sending papers to journals accepting LaTeX;
* writing LaTeX stuff to order)

Personally I'd find it inconvenient to have two TeX trees and having to
change my environment to use one or another.  (Possibly, I could arrange
it so that I don't have to change any environment variables, but still,
since I don't need the state-of-the-art MkIV, texlive is ok for me.)

Well, it is "minimal" in the sense of dependencies, I guess.

Wołałem Pana w moim udręczeniu; mego Boga, mego Boga przyzywałem!
I usłyszał mój głos ze Swej świątyni, i dotarł do Jego ucha mój krzyk!
I ziemia poruszyła się i zadrżała, i fundamenty świata się odsłoniły;
I wyciągnął Swą rękę i mnie pochwycił, wydźwignął mnie z głębokości wód!
