The main advantage of the new scrollbars is that their real estate
consumption is essentially 0. This may feel as a minor change when you're
sitting in front of a 25" screen, but on my tiny notebook where every pixel
counts, the improvement is significant. So yes, there are still some issues,
but calling the scrollbars "another solution in search of a problem" appears
quite unfair to me.
