As an Emacspeak enthusiast, I agree.

And others will say the same about console-based BRLTTY, Speakup, Yasr and the rest.

I stay out of graphical desktop environments as much as I can (1) because I
don't like the user interfaces and (2) because the accessibility support is
not as reliable as it could be.

I think many of us will end up running minimalist window managers, together
with Orca, just in order to run whatever X applications are realy needed. I
don't need anything from a desktop environment other than to run Firefox and
any other application that requires the X Window System.
