WinEdt added to the list of editors
You can use any text editor for creating a source file for ConTeXt (in case of desperation, even notepad should do :). A lot of editors provide generic TeX syntax highlighting (not based on a word list). But some have a bit more support for ConTeXt:
 
== ConTeXt-aware ==

* + = more…
* ? = previous feature probable but unsure
 
 
== Other editors ==
 
The following editors have no specific ConTeXt support, but do a good job for generic (La)TeX typesetting, so you may use them for ConTeXt as well:
<table>
<tr style="background:#cccccc;">
<td> Editor </td>
<td colspan="7"> features </td>
<td> Linux </td>
<td> Win </td>
<td> MacOS X </td>
<td> Remarks </td>
</tr><tr style="background:#eeeeee;">
<td> [http://www.winedt.com/ WinEdt]</td>
<td> - </td><td> - </td><td> S </td><td> - </td><td> - </td><td> - </td><td> - </td>
<td> - </td>
<td> y </td>
<td> - </td>
<td> A nice, configurable Windows editor, very suitable for newbies to (La)TeX. A large collection of buttons with Greek letters and other (math) symbols is very helpfulp when typesetting math. It also has spell checker, but no support for UTF yet.<br> LaTeX users can also find many templates (tables, enumerations, ...) and compiling/previewing the documents by clicking a button (sadly this is not yet supported for ConTeXt).</td>
