Why not scroll with point, with C-p and C-n? That way, you won't have
to reach for the arrow keys, and then back again, to get back to
typing. Hit C-l (sometimes more than once) to get to the window
fringe, the scroll.
Scrolling without moving point is sometimes useful, but even then, in
my mind, no shortcuts should be disruptive to typing. Never leave F
and J!
Also, lots of scrolling (particularly of source code) could be
replaced by searching. Searching is called "search" (with various
modifiers attached), but as for my usage, I would rather call it
"navigate".

OK, here goes "mine" as well, for civilized scrolling (as someone
said, and I agree) -
(setq scroll-step 1)
(setq scroll-conservatively 10000)
(setq auto-window-vscroll nil)
