(1) It doesn't take up the space the scrollbar does (the fringe is already

(2) It's visually much lighter weight that a scrollbar. The reason I
don't like using a scrollbar is because it demands too much attention;
these little icons on the other hand seem just about right.
Also perhaps:
(3) It lets you avoid the scrollbar when your particular environment happens
to have reallly ugly scrollbars (not uncommon!).
