Well in emacs you have a textual self describing system with interfaces to all system components. What else would a blind person want? at least you can do almost everything from inside emacs.

Wow, I find that one hard to believe! I'm quite sighted and find emacs impossible to use. I'd hate to see how confused a less PC literate person fared.

This is a Windows user we are talking about after all, and not an old Unix coder.
