That's eesentually what it boils down to. Ease of use. Windows Eyes and Jaws
are populare because they can press a key and wam all the links appear in a
list. Then, you can press the first letter of the link, and you jump to it.
However, one of the best kept secrets of lynx is its number links option.

lynx -number_links www.website.com


When that happens all the links are asigned a number, and by entering that
number you can jump to it just as you could with Jaws or Window Eyes in
Windows with their fancy hot keys.

Editing wavs is easier under Windows, but ripping cd's is easy with the
right program.
