Ah! Yet another Jaws defect. I do seem to keep on harping on about
this, but Jaws seems to do so many things badly: it's not even
cheap!

If you ask me, you get a different answer.

Probably for the first time, I have to agree with Jukka here. As a programmer
my technical knowledge normaly makes up for any lack of cognitive powers, but
for me one of the most important advances in browser technology recently has
been the tabbed interface. This is because it is _normal_ for me to find that
there is (far) more than one option that I want to follow on any given page,
so tabs allow me to follow them all. Users who don't have tabs, either
because they don't understand how to use them, or their equivalent, or don't
have an equivalent (in an assistive browser) are put at a serious
disadvantage by over-complicated navigation.
Basically, Complexity = Anxiety.
