Don't we know what is better though? If we had the choice would we take a 
slow browser or a fast browser? (I don't believe orca is slow with ff just 
when search for forms).
But we have no reason to care about windows, because we can come up with 
things that work for us.

Yes, but we won't just do things like windows for that reason.
For example windows I hear buffers the web pages which I would think 
everyone believes is worse than showing the page how it looks which orca 
does.
(So if they complain about this since links aren't displayed per line, we 
won't change it because we believe this is better.)
Since we can see exactly how the page looks.
