There's always a need for multiple ways of doing things. I.E. why
have a command-o key to open a file if you can click on it?
Why would we want a vo-K for keyboard training mode when you can go
to universal preferences and activate it?
Why would we want a command-F5 to turn on/off vo when we can do the
same thing via menus?
Hmm.
Sounds to me like different folks like different access methods.
I could make exactly the same claim for jaws. Why does jaws have a
keystroke to speak the time, when I can go into the system tray and
look at my clock?
Why does jaws have an unload keystroke of it's own when i can just
use alt-f4 to close it?
It' called choice. People love choices.
The more ways there are to do things, the better in my opinion. I
don't choose to use the command-o to open programs, but a lot of
eople do. This doesn't make me right and them wrong, it simply makes
it easier since folks can choose what works best for them.
No, I think apple has done just fine with their overlap as you call it.
