I like the way web browsing works with Jaws and Window-eyes. I guess
that's why I like DOM mode better than grouped mode. If I need to
find something, I just use the Item and Link choosers. I don't see a
need to work through group mode just to find things on web sites.

I totally disagree. DOM mode with VO has all the same problems that
it does with Window-Eyes or Jaws. I've used both modes. DOM
navigation requires more navigation, gives a less accurate
representation of the page, and requires far more arrowing around.
I suspect if you did a survey, you'd likely find that most users are
using DOM mode, not Grouped, because it is so much like what they've
become accustomed to in Windows. I'm sure you understand the
concept behind grouped navigation, but I don't think you fully
understand the best ways of utilizing it to your advantage while
browsing. Everyone will have a different opinion why they like one
over the other, but as a matter of sheer practicality, it is very
difficult to make an argument that DOM mode is more efficient than
grouped.
I'd like to hear what others are using and why, and how many have
actually learned to use Grouped mode in depth.
