Inverted scrolling

(1/2) > >>

Perspective:
I just got a new macbook at work, and the new default is to invert the scroll direction (scroll the content instead of scroll the window). I didn't like it at first but have decided to give it try.

What do you guys prefer, scroll the content or scroll the window?

Mike:
I HATE inverted scrolling with a mouse to touchpad.  But I'm 100% sure that is because of what I'm used to.

That said, on a tablet with physical gestures it totally make sense.

micah:
they started doing this several years ago. I hate it. I immediately turned it off on every mac i've been given.  It makes sense if you're on a touch screen but my old-man-brain can't adjust.  Especially since I use a PC at home (that probably has the option to switch it but I'm not turning it on) and its hard to go back and forth between the two.

charlie:
I first got used to scrolling the content on my wife's macbook and I am so used to it that I hate scrolling the window on my kids' chromebooks. It feels so much more intuitive to scroll the content but I'm sure that's just because that's what I got used to.

Perspective:
I did it for a day and I'm already used to it. I like the uniformity across devices.
