This is my 4th day of using Lion's "Natural Scrolling" and I have to say I've become comfortable enough with it that I don't see myself going back. I'm very curious as to what the rest of you think about it though. Anyone else make the switch?
How do you scroll

I chose, "I'll scroll....wheel was invented" simply because I don't have a trackpad.

Just for gits and shiggles, I'm going to set mine back to Lion's direction and try it out with my mouse scroll wheel. grin

Yeah. If you can get your mind used to flicking a page up or down rather than relying on the scroll bars, then it seems rather natural.

Hold your mouse up to your monitor and scroll and it feels really obvious. Amazing how different if feels when you put it back down on your desk.

You're still using threaded mode, sure you can handle a trackpad? wink

I relate my scrolling to the scroll bar, down drags the scroll bar down so I can see the page farther down.

Natural scrolling is relating the scroll wheel direction to more like physically grabbing the page and moving it. Meh, we'll have to see I guess.

It's going iOS, no scroll bars, and scan your finger up and the page goes up, like grabbing it. On the iPad and iPhone it feels right, grabbing the page and moving it, but with a scroll wheel, not so natural. Maybe with a trackpad it would feel more "natural."

Well at least your wife's a nurse, she can unknot your fingers for you when you get the trackpad.

I'm not sure which to button choose in your poll.

I use Lion's way of scrolling in Lion.
I use Snow Leopards way of scrolling in Snow Leopard.
If I get confused between OS's, I scroll the other way.
NO BIG DEAL.
Can't believe it's a controversy.
I've adapted to much more difficult things than this.

Wacom mouse & pen.
