I think that most of the people who like jaws have either used jaws since
they started using computers, or have used it for years, even though they
started off using something else. I started off with window bridge, and
then I got window eyes about maybe fourteen years ago. I used older
versions of jaws, but that was only when I was taking computer classes in
the early 2000s or late 1990s. Pam.

I realize that you can't speak for others, and that each of us has
different needs, priorities, and biases, but I wonder why why some find
Jaws to be clunky while others (such as you) are quite satisfied. I
wonder if using "outdated" software (such as Windows-7) contributes to
the problem.
That said, while I took advantage of the Jaws offer, I have yet to
migrate to Jaws and have yet to download Windows-10. Things are running
smoothly and I hate to rock the boat. The other issue which makes me
hesitate is Jaws' reliance on the insert key. I use a left-handed
keyboard with the microsoft feature Sticky Keys and have never really
understood how to incorporate the insert feature with the caps lock key,
but I digress.

Not to be contrary, I've been a Jaws user at home for over three years
and love it after being a devoted Window-Eyes user since almost day one.
I used Jaws for a number of years at work. But, when they offered a
great home use program, I jumped at the chance and was glad that I did
even though I hated to see Window-Eyes go.
My personal feeling is that one is better served by having access to
more than one screen reader as well as learning more than one internet
browser. Praise the Lord that we have choices.
I will say that these upgrades to these products gets rather expensive.
Not blaming Freedom Scientific. But, when you have a family and/or you
also have other interests or needs, even the sma program becomes another
cost that requires budget juggling.

I also think Jaws sucks! I wasted money migrating to jaws. Don't
remember the cost for 2 upgrades, somewhere around 120 bucks. I gave
it a go for about one month and said F it! Been using NVDA ever
since. occasionally use window eyes navigating windows itself, like
control, panel, settings etc. MS one core voice David sounds pretty
good in NVDA.
