You're not the only one who's thought that. :)
Done any Cocoa development yourself?
I'm really a beginner, but my current project is giving me a strikingly
relevant set of skills. I'll be watching closely when Hans releases the
communications spec from a GUI-client to the eXaMpLe-server.
It's a little bit surprising ConTeXt hasn't gotten more attention,
especially from the MacOSX crowd.
Cheers,
adam

This crowd of one is learning it bit by bit. It's pretty intensive with
a long learning curve. But VERY cool. I don't know enough about TeX to
do updates from Han's constant improvements, so I stick with Gerben's
distro.

My understanding is that to date ConTeXt is limited to English and=20
Dutch as languages, i.e. you cannot use it in French and German, the=20
two languages I mostly write in, at it's the same for other languages.=20=
My understanding is that this is the limitation to the use of ConTeXt,=20=
at least in Europe and I suppose it is the same in Asia.

Subject: LaTeX to Word?
From: "Stephen Anderson"
Date: Wed, 25 Dec 2002 19:47:13 -0500
Is there a way to convert a LaTeX document accurately to something MS
Word can read? I tried opening the .pdf file in Acrobat and saving it
as rtf, but the result was a mess when I opened in in Word.
I have a very long manuscript (ca. 300 pages) with various embedded
.eps figures, etc., but my publisher may insist (at the last minute) on
something in Word format. The pdf file produced by pdflatex opens fine
in Acrobat, and I imagine there must be some way to convert this to
Word (or at least rtf).
