Is a scrollback buffer really that usefull? I always get lost in them...
Personally I'm much more comfortable with the history of my shell and less,
grep or all kinds of other programs for long output.
But I'd love to hear how you guys feel about this.

I tend to use the scrolling, mostly when I type a command, and the
result is longer than expected, so it doesnt fits the window.
I know that scrolling is a source of problems (because of different
widths), limit of buffer,
slower scrolling, more memory consumption, etc.. but it is sometimes useful.
I would like to have it, but i recognize that it is a source of
problems. So maybe we should
not think about it or add it as a patch until we find a decent way to
implement it.
what do you think?
