After using LaTeX I use ConTeXt in my work environment (MS office
based) for:
- Letters, Quotes and Faxes
- Reports (with floats and references)
- Pricelists using perl based conversion of a database export
But I must admit that I now increasingly use Apple Pages to write
letters, faxes and the like as it just works faster (copy/paste graphic
for example). For large documents ConTeXt stays the preferred option.
What I miss is:
- A layer on top of ConTeXt for common documents like Letters,
Invoices, etc.. I had to build my own templates, which are not nearly
as robust as the LaTeX classes I used before.
- An IDE like LyX as it is easy to forget the macro's and getting in to
a compile/error/correct cycle. Especially as the TeX error messages are
not very clear to me.
- A large user base.

Frank

Hi all,
For the next issue of the ntg's Maps journal, Hans and I believe
it would be nice to publish the collected responses to this simple
question:
What do you do with ConTeXT?
We think it would be nice to see all the various ways in which people
experience ConTeXt. We are not looking for articles, in fact we really
want just a small amount of text per user, nothing longer then you
would normally type in an email message.
One, perhaps two paragraphs that simply tell about your personal
experience using (or playing with) (or fighting with) (or yelling at)
(or staring at in bewilderment) (or revelling in) (or running away
from)
ConTeXt.
If you like this idea, just reply to this message. I will then
collect and merge the responses, and finally put a pdf on-line
somewhere.
Don't be shy!
Taco
