Re: [orca-list] Use Linux as a daily driver

Please don't interpret this to mean that the Gmail web interface isn't 
usable. Some people aren't aware of the accessibility improvements made 
in the Gmail web interface. Ditto for the standard web interface as 
opposed to the HTML only interface. I prefer desktop clients myself, but 
I pull up the Gmail web interface with JAWS or NVDA occasionally, and 
I'm always surprised how usable it is. I'd expect the same to be true 
with Orca and Firefox. I'd say give it a try yourself and make up your 
own mind.

BTW, if someone says they want to use the web interface, I don't tend to 
question it unless I think they haven't considered other options. It's 
not my job to judge what people have decided works for them. Just 
because I prefer a desktop client doesn't mean someone else wouldn't see 
benefits in a web interface. So many people feel their way of doing 
things is the only way to do something.
