Well, I totally disagree with this statement. Maybe I hang around with particularly cautious sighted people or particularly adventurous blind people, but I don't find blind computer users any more reluctant to try new applications than sighted people. IMHO, this is a dangerous stereotype, maybe caused by spending more time on blindness related mailing lists than mailing lists frequented by the general public.
That being said, I also don't blame anyone who is happy with what they're using and isn't looking to change. "If it isn't broken, don't fix it." I used to spend all of my time looking for a better media player, but then I decided I'd rather spend my time listening to music than playing around with the various accessibility foibles of the different media players out there.
