I've started training myself on Emacspeak, so if my vision ever goes away or is severely compromised, I am still able to operate (and write programs for) a computer. I found it pretty amazing that I could write and test a short program with my eyes closed. Emacspeak is an outlier in the open source ecosystem when it comes to accessibility, however, and that's to everyone's detriment. It comes from an old-school Unix mentality of "let's write programs in such a way that loosely coupled bits and bobs can be attached and integrated to suit custom needs" rather than the GNOMEish "we've already thought of the common case and developed a comprehensive solution, you will use it and like it, fuck your obscure little corner cases".
