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 wouldn't change to any other editor ...

The way I see it, there are no developers around who are willing to improve the situation (for whatever reason). > Is there already a relevant community, big enough and hence worth to > spent money developing an AucTeX support for ConTeXt MkIV?

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.
