Well, I'd argue that LilyPond and Context differ in how useful the
available documentation is _before_ you have to revert to the mailing
list.

We probably only see a fraction of LilyPond users on this list, whereas
it is probably only a tiny fraction of Context users _not_ on the
Context mailing list since in the category of somewhat up to date
comprehensive documentation there is not really much available other
than Hans Hagen.  "Someday somebody will write a user manual" has been
sort of a running joke for decades.
