I would not. Let’s not start a flame war here.

Can you tell me, what your problems were? I’d like to enhance the documentation.

Of course the LaTeX community is bigger. If LaTeX fits your needs, use it. 
ConTeXt needs a bit more own handicraft, but then you have all the adjustings 
screws at your fingertips.
I prefer the "accessibility" of ConTeXt’s setup commands over writing/adapting 
LaTeX style files that never *completely* fit your needs. And I don’t want to 
know about conflicting packages...
