> Front end devs, I implore you. Stop acting like you think you know what the user wants in regards to scrolling behavior. Smooth scrolling already exists natively in every browser. There's no need to try to re-implement it in JavaScript. Your implementation will not work in every browser, and will only cause strange stuttering, bouncing, or even end up somehow completely disabling scrolling altogether. Do not try to get fancy and implement "momentum" into scrolling. You're changing a well-understood behavior into something that is unexpected and jarring, and likely it won't work anyways. Smooth scrolling can cause motion sickness because it doesn't perfectly match up with the action. Javascript versions make it even worse because the ratio is pretty much guaranteed to be off from the user's normal scroll amount, particularly with a mouse or touchpad. It's not that bad for me, but I do disable it wherever possible because I find it disorienting. Can't do that with javascript implementations.
