Not sure if I would bet on "the standard". TeXworks, TeXstudio to
mention two seem to be more popular to me; TeXworks is bundled with
TeXlive and that is a plus.

I think the question is: how to get others to use Emacs? :-)

That is always a reason: If you are a heavy ConTeXt user and
Emacs/AUCTeX support is poor, then ...

I think you've got me wrong here: I'm not trying to refuse ConTeXt, I'm
trying to find a way to make Emacs/AUCTeX support better. The way I see
it, there are no developers around who are willing to improve the
situation (for whatever reason).

Let me put it this way: Are you willing to ask the ConTeXt community if
there is enough demand to crowdfund ConTeXt MkIV support in AUCTeX? If
there is a demand, we can look after a person who can do the job.
