Should a doorknob be easy to use?
Should you pant zipper be easy to use?
Scrollbar used to be easy to use on computers, at one time. Then, designers took over the UI. Now, they're only about look. Usability? who gives a crap about that, right?
Probably the same designers, or from the same schools, that decided it was a great design to have rounded windows on rectangular screens, I imagine. But who am I to criticize professional designers...
At first glance I was like... the scroll bar as a doorknob. That would be far easier to use. There is always a margin on the right anyway, why not stick into the page.
I assumed that most people scroll with their scrollwheel and that scrollbar is just there to indicate the page size and current position
you can scroll faster with the scrollbar, and it is useful
Way, way faster if it's a long document
