It depends on what you want to do, but in general I'd say VoiceOver's Terminal 
support these days is usable, but not delightful.

On the upside, you can review and scroll back the entire text buffer, and copy 
and paste from and to it. Unheard of elsewhere. But on the downside, VoiceOver 
doesn't always announce command output properly (broken since the switch to 
zsh, at least, although seems to work with stdio in general) and you can forget 
using interactive apps using ncurses or other TTY control libraries, for most 
practical purposes.

Windows and Linux have different tradeoffs: in Windows, no scrollback or text 
selection, but much better experience in the other cases; Linux, especially 
with BRLTTY, gives you copy and paste and is in my view simply the most 
delightful way to experience textmode (so keep a Linux VM handy and use ssh, 
just for that) but now you've got the expense of a Braille display and a 
running VM.

You picks your screen readers and makes your compromises.

Cheers,
Sabahattin
