This is unfair. Hans and Taco have spent more than ten man-years
working on ConTeXt & LuaTeX, while the LaTeX3 project for most of the
last two decades was done by one guy in Mainz doing it only part-time
- and writing some excellent books and raising a family at the same
time. If you compare the time spent on the ConTeXt and the LaTeX core
since say 1995, ConTeXt is way ahead.
