This was interesting until he started mentioning CSS, then it was no no no no no through the end of the article. Do not mess with scrollbars. In the same class of annoying bullshit: don't mess with text boxes with JavaScript. You won't get it right, there's so many little interactions the system text boxes can do that yours won't and it'll throw a massive wrench into things when I can't use yours the way I'm used to. The same applies to JavaScript for smooth scrolling. There's a browser preference, turn it off for yourself and then keep your nose out of my web browser. The "know-better" attitude of some web devs is terrible.
