"Having a alternative way for people that can't use the computer like most of us do"

are you familiar with what QAccessible is? 

it's not like vision impaired people can somehow use a spinbox easily either.

the solution is to implement a QAccessible object for the widget (so that a11y hardware and software can interact with it), make the different pieces of it keyboard accessible as well, and then it's accessible.

i actually used to be involved with the FSG a11y working group, so i do have a bit of an idea on the topic. =)

please trust that we know what we're doing in the technical details. we've heard your request, to make it accessible, and it's on the plans (the keyboard focus work in 4.1 was one part of that progression, with more to come in 4.2).

the other request, to add spinboxes and sliders is not something we're interested in doing.
