Hello,
I tried ConTeXt a few years ago, then gave up on it because of its
wordiness and verbosity. The 2006 article on creating AMSTeX output in
ConTeXt at https://www.ntg.nl/maps/34/06.pdf shows exactly what I mean: the
LaTeX commands are small and neat; the ConTeXt commands are not.
However,

removing the entire context tree and reinstalling the stable version - only
