Of course its Apple's fault. Shaking head. For me Voiceover was
fine. The only issue is the function keys on the Logitech keyboard. The
magic trackpad has that covered however.

There were quite a few changes from Ventura to Sequoia regarding VoiceOver,
specially the way it handles TTS parameters and speech rate. So immediately
after upgrading my speech slowed to an unbearable crawl with Eloquence, and I
had to fiddle with it to get it right.
Then for the command line apps, yes they were backed up, but unfortunately the
MacPorts installation I used was tied to the Ventura installation, so I had to
migrate all packages to Sequoia, which was very painful because it initially
bombed due to a failed Xcode command line tools upgrade not removing some old
header files properly. Once I cleared them away, I was able to slowly and
painfully rebuild (literally, recompile because the MacPorts build bots aren't
online for ARM64 Sequoia yet). During this time server services including my
network DHCP were down. This not being acceptable, I restored from backup—but
by now it was too late to get the latest working build from my backup, so I had
to go back farther, but at least it now worked. Eventually I was able to
complete the migration in one shot without any failures and everything now
works. I do love MacPorts but wish it didn't make upgrades quite so painful.
The binaries almost always work just fine, so forcing a rebuild merely makes it
more fragile, when it's much more important to upgrade gradually when it's
possible. Anyway, it's fine now, but it was very unpleasant until I figured out
the root cause, and it's all Apple's fault, of course.
