It would be really nice to have "smooth scrolling" enabled in text editors... it's possible to get it since Mozilla got it working, see http://www.handcoding.com/archives/000528.shtml and for sure it makes the editor appear faster and it's useful since you can read and scroll at the same time...
this should be on the widget level
I would love to see this too.
On Windows, to implement smooth scrolling we need to handle fractional line scroll (see bug 194143) and set SW_SMOOTHSCROLL during ScrollWindowEx. I'm not sure if we need to do anything else to be consider a "smooth scrolling enabled app".
