What exactly do you mean with "ugly"? > So why does ConTeXt > default to ec.

Maybe not for English and German users. But most other (European) languages need EC to cover all their letters (i.e. to make hyphenation work at all). Although not all languages are listed there, take a look into lang-ctx.tex. > So, can we move to texnansi as the default? Context used texnansi as the default encoding in past and I would say the opposite: those who care and really need to use texnansi, probably know that better than an average user who would need ec to support his language properly, but doesn't know that. (Although I've been using "TeX" quite some time now, I never noticed the difference until two years ago when I was using some strange combinations of letters in Antykwa Torunska which has different accents on capital letters - and I started wandering why Č and Š looked so different.) The problem with euro came with the new TeXLive. But it's not ec's fault only that it doesn't work. But as others already said - uc will soon be the default anyway ...
