About the topic... even I don't like prepackaged softwares, we cannot forget that most users want download, doubleclick, install and run without other noises, so I agree with Andrea's thoughts, but ConTeXt has a complicated structure/hierarchy (updated often) which doesn't make easier the job. Furthermore let me doubt that a simplified installation it's enough to persuade new users since ConTeXt requires manuals reading which is universally considered a waste of time.
