As in most software projects. And, that;s true, there _are_ lots of bugs in ConTeXt. But still, it is very usable. LaTeX rocks...! true, if you are from LaTeX peaple. Well, I've been using LaTeX for several years and I don't think it to be really rocking. And neither is ConTeXt (yet) - see below. And the question is: why to start yet another flame war? I am the proof (by example) that the sets of plain TeX people, LaTeX people and ConTeXt people have a nonempty intersection. There are areas where LaTeX is much better than ConTeXt: when I write a paper on maths, almost no journal will accept ConTeXt. Also, LaTeX is very stable and ConTeXt is not. OTOH, when ConTeXt reaches the maturity level of LaTeX, it _will_ be much better - but we'll have to wait a while for it to happen.

I have been recieving emails from CoNTeXt list and it seems that ConTeXt has heaps of bugs. LaTeX rocks...! Sorry, but I just can't resist a joke: what you call a bug in ConTeXt world is called a feature in LaTeX. And to be more serious: I think I was rather fair in my previous post on the difference between (plain) TeX and ConTeXt. Also, LaTeX is frozen in some sense: the latest news on the LaTeX project site comes from 2005, IIRC. So the LaTeX core (or kernel) is very stable (and, one has to admit, has very few bugs - and very limited features...). And LaTeX packages are quite a jungle. But still: there are lots of them which are very stable (or frozen), and some which are under constant development (pgf, for instance). Also, LaTeX documents are (usually) much simpler than ConTeXt documents, so it is much easier to have few bugs - there is less room for complex interactions (aside from package clashes, which happen from time to time). So if you want a stable document preparation and markup system with a large userbase, though sometimes limited functionality (try to do a two-column enumerate in LaTeX automatically, something like: 1) ...3) ... 2) ...4) ... without resorting to general multicolumn hackery - and the multicol package, which is not entirely free!), then yes, LaTeX is better. And if you want some features _not_ present in LaTeX or you need to typeset _really_ complex documents (complex in terms of layout, for example), or your documents are not scientific papers then ConTeXt is probably better.
