I use my touchpad scrolling and mouse scroll wheel *all* the time.
It's great for scrolling as you read a page.

However, when I'm reading a very long web page, ODT document, PDF, or
source code file (i.e. 50+ screenfulls) and want to get from the top to
the middle of the page, it is a complete waste of time to go "roll,
roll, roll, roll, roll, ..." with the wheel or touch pad; instead I
simply make a quick drag of the scroll bar thumb to the exact place I
want to go.
