It took me awhile to realize how bad sticky divs are for my users. Justification of using sticky elements was that they were always visible. But why? Because they are frequently accessed elements? Scrolling to top doesn't take much of effort. They might be frequently accessed, but they were also not that hard to access. It hit me hard, when I saw my user's screen which was relatively small and my sidebar and header were both sticky, leaving only a small area to display the main content. I've now gone back to mostly non-sticky elements. It's refreshing. Not seeing those "frequently accessed" elements isn't much of an issue. I don't think I ever complained about popular websites not having its header sticky. Letting users focus on the main content has been by far the most beneficial thing from my perspective.
