I just switched from Vinux to Slint. Slint is orders of magnitude better. Warning, I only use console, but with slint I can switch between speakup and fenrir, and within speakup can switch between espeak and dectalk. >From a quick read of slint getting started docs, you should be able to choose between a variety of talking GUI environments, but most of the discussion on the slint list is about Mate.
