>Would you try to override the look and feel of the desktop environment if you could?

The answer to this question is almost always yes by short sighted designers who try to control scrolling behavior. In fact optimally they'd like to control your hardware look and feel also.

There's a difference between changing behaviour and changing the design. I'd imagine that most designers that design without scroll bars have no idea what the devs are going to do to change behaviour.

I hate it when the scrolling feels unnatural. At the same time, it's good when the design looks nice. It's possible to achieve both of those things.
