It's because scrolling doesn't actually make sense in emacs or vim, if you've put some time into learning how to use them. In vim, for example, you would be much better off navigating with the keyboard than the mouse. You can

Seems like starcraft would be an even better game to play then, considering that it has all of this, but also forces you to think in realtime. Come to think of it, the information asymmetry in starcraft that is lacking in chess would teach
