Pretty good perspective. It does come down to one's ability to deal
with things. Thise who know HOW to work with or around issues are not
the ones who go on rants but rather, tyey are the ones who assist the
ones who struggle.
Another point you touch on is 'what we are used to'. Change is
inevitable, that we can bet on. But we have control over that too.
Someone suiggested that Microsoft and Google could put some heat on
Apple to do better. Not likely. Google while fairly new on the scene,
has major accessibility issues that have been in existence from the
start. Microsoft has had decades to get it right but one thing different
there is that Miccrosoft does not build hardware AND operating systems
together as Apple does.
It boils down to one's expectations. Hold them too high and one will
be let down all the time.

. . . what if it were true?

Interesting how one blind person says the iOS is garbage and Yosemite is close
to that too while another blind person is enjoying the new features and using
both while acknowledging some bugs and changes. What this tells me is that
while there are real accessibility issues, at least some of what is going on
has to do with personal preferences and ability to figure out ways to use the
system when it changes. Whether Apple is sliding or not is certainly a matter
that could be debated but it is true that some things are being done
differently than we were used to and while some of them may be fixable bugs
some things are permanent changes that we will have to learn to work with. This
will be true no matter what system you use. Since anybody who didn't run the
beta didn't get Yosemite until yesterday sometime, I would give it some time
and work before I abandon it as garbage. You can always sell your Mac so don't
throw it across the room whatever you do :-)
