I think its fine with Jaws as long as you use the scripts. The problem is
we are not even taking advantage of half of what visual studio allows
because we have one set of scripts for the free version and the pay. If we
made a version of scripts for the pay version that has automation we could
access everything. In fact they have made it so accessible if someone was
to sit down they could re write the entire interface using the API's they
have. It's not that it's not accessible it's that the current IDE is not
designed for blind in mind but you see Microsoft has given us the power to
make it both usable and accessible..

My research team just finished some usability testing with blind
children using visual studio 2010 and JAWS 11. The students were able
to use it to complete simple problems, but VS 2010 has a pretty large
laundry list of accessibility problems, in my opinion.
