Three things: 1) I'd like to have a visual feedback where I am in the file. I have files that are extremely wide and that have empty spots. You can get lost. 2) I'd like to view other parts of the file without moving the cursor. 3) I think that scrollbars are better to quickly navigate large distances in large files. Ok, 90% are small movements within small files. Here, I enjoy the Emacs key mappings.
