Hello Idris, for writing letters I still use LaTeX + lettre.cls or scrlttr2.cls. One interesting feature is the automatic vertical stretching or compressing in order to get the last page well filled (say at least 30% or so). One day, I'm going to write something like this for ConTeXt perhaps. I've never used anything else than LaTeX or ConTeXt, and I don't feel any need to change. > What typesetting tasks do you find difficult-to-onerous in ConTeXt (even > in nothing else is available)? Tables: first, it's difficult to choose between the 3 possibilities (table, tabulate and TABLE), and then sometimes there is no table with all features that I need. Pretty-verbatim: in LaTeX I loved the listings package. There are some possibilities in ConTeXt, but the listings package is still far better: a lot more options and easier to use. All other problems are in the "collector".
