I really wonder why they don't just get rid of the scrollbar

as touch the scrollbar thumb it jerks to some new position
hundreds or thousands of lines away, so you have to use
the keyboard for all scrolling anyway.
Why would you ever use the arrows? And why would you use the thumb for
anything other than general location in a large file? Do you have a
mouse without a wheel or a touchpad that doesn't do scrolling?
Scrolling using the wheel on my mouse is a little funky on some windows,
particularly in Firefox: the text jumps around a little and decorations
(generally unwanted but present nonetheless) don't move as they ought to.
Up till recently I did have a mouse without a wheel, which I liked, but
such mouses(?) are no longer easy to get, and I have got to like using
arrows.

Have you considered a trackball? I like the Kensington optical
trackball. I use the one without the scroll device cirumscribing the
ball, since I consider the
ball sufficient, but you might want the scroll device. These are not
expensive, and they take up a lot less room on a crowded desktop. I
really despise mouses (mice?).
