Dear Adrian, I very much sympathize with what you write and cansay that, for many many years I thought like this and that the fact that we were kind of forced to use GUIs was just one form of ableism.
Today my perception is abit more nuanced and there are two things I think need to be taken into account. First, I think at least some of us want to be able to work with sighted persons. I am one of those and I second Aura when he writes that better accessibility support can lead to us being betterintegrated. Second, at a more pragmatic level, I think the more we use tools that almost nobody else uses, the more the maintenance will become a burden and the higher the risk of things not being maintained at all will become. >From the maitenance's point of view, even the present situation feels frightening to me: what if people like Dave, Samuel, Joanie or a few others suddenly stop maintaining the huge and/or numerous projects they maintain?
