Interesting read.

I have to wonder if the scrollbar problem is inescapable, given the shape of the problem.

Flutter has dealt with similar issues, perhaps by virtue of more eyeballs / being slightly older, there are solutions. SuperSliverList in particular completely erased the jumpy-jank that happened when estimates changed to concrete values.

as long as we deal with estimated values, it is inescapable. the best we can do is tune the estimate calculations and tweak heuristics. that's my understanding of the problem, but I'd love to hear from other experience
