Or, perhaps also when the at stack becomes much more robust. Right now, while the gui has been usable (for about a year), it's prone to something--God only knows what, because when my speech dies I have no notion of any error, etc--I simply lose the whole environment. Usually, Ctrl+Alt+Backspace lets me start over, but that doesn't encourage one to replace 24 consoles with terminal tabs. Not infrequently, ctrl+alt+backspace doesn't work, and I'm trying telinit 3 followed by telinit 5. Too frequently, even this doesn't work and I have to reboot if I want a stable gui--which discourages me from relying on it for real work. BTW: Not all my consoles are simple terminal screens. I run 9 mutt instances in 9 screen terminals on Ctrl+Alt+F1, for instance. My inbox is in Ctrl-A1, Fedora mail in Ctrl-a5, my standards related work in Ctrl-a9, etc. Meanwhile, evolution and thunderbird are only marginally usable from the screen reader perspective, and not with the same alacrity that serves me in mutt. Heck, I can still cite specific web pages where lynx does better than firefox3 from my a11y perspective. Thankfully, there are plenty examples the other way around, too.
