One of the reasons that moderators of various screen reader lists
discouraged the discussion of other screen readers is that the discussions
often disintegrated into flaming wars attacking one screen reader or
another. This being said, if we could just discuss how one screen reader or
another performs a certain task, and its benefits, I believe this would be
helpful to all screen readers. It might even fuel comments to the maker of a
screen reader which could make it more useful in the future.

I feel it would be detrimental to this list if we couldn't discuss how JAWS
differs from, or might be complemented by, another screenreader.

Subject: JAWS, NVDA, & Window Eyes Parallels
I know that this is a JAWS forum, and if the consensus is that this sort of
discussion is inappropriate here then I'll just drop it.
I have a number of clients who use multiple screen readers, many use two and
a significant number have used all three. Since NVDA is free and WindowEyes
is available for free (or was) in basic form for MS-Office users both are
reasonably common as backup(s).
I am most familiar with JAWS, am getting more familiar with NVDA, and
haven't touched Window Eyes yet.
Is it OK to ask a question of the general form, "How do you do something in
NVDA or Window Eyes that you do in JAWS by {insert steps here}?" or, "JAWS
does {insert behavior here} when you {insert action or keystrokes here},
what's the equivalent in Window Eyes or NVDA?," or vice-versa?
If there are other forums or emailing lists that are more generally targeted
to screen reader users rather than JAWS users feel free to point me to them.
However, if they're single screen reader focused then the same complication
exists (but I can make this query in those venues, too).
