Great idea. However (there is always an however ;) I can recall from my experience with products that it can be very hard to understand why context menu's come and go in the same view. Beginners do not have the contextual mind-set and can get frustrated looking for a menu that they were sure they saw yesterday.

NetBeans has a very contextual context-menu, with different entries at every level, and it seems to get more love from beginners (and more).
