Actually, I guess I sort of fall into that category.  I have tremors
that come and go, and I use voiceover for the additional control you
gain when just navigating only with the keyboard instead of the mouse
when I can't fiddle around with the mouse settings enough to massively
turn down the resolution (this is why I love my gaming mice..).
There's no software-based way to "even out" the tremor on Mac OS X,
shame.  I use the keyboard a lot, but some things just sort of "need"
a mouse, and voiceover takes care of that need.  For everything else,
there's quicksilver.

Other than that, it's because I do a bit of computer work and tutoring
for visually disabled people, and I like to introduce them to a world
other than jaws+windows.  And I do a bit of web development and app
development (newbie at mac dev though), so it really can't hurt.  plus
there's those times when you want to use the laptop but without
bothering someone else, like on an airplane.  So it comes in real
handy, no reason not to use it :)

cheers,
jane
