It is a very mouse oriented system which is probably bad.
By mouse oriented, I mean a lot of the user interface can only be interacted
with a mouse.
On the other side, acme is text oriented and rio serves
files with the (text) contents of the window.
Both can probably be tweaked a little so that
an external program (which has yet to be written/ported)
reads aloud stuff or prints things out through a Braille line, but to
my knowledge this hasn't been done.
