Real smooth scrolling where its actually tied to the movement of your finger is very good. Fake smooth scrolling where it's trying to interpolate between scroll events is shit.

I don't know why desktop mice are still stuck in this 80s era of jittery scrolling while trackpads and phones have been scrolling with pixel perfect accuracy for over a decade. And now every product page is tying animations to scroll position which looks great on smooth scroll devices but play as 1fps animations for mice users.
