editor.js:

I quite like the fact that the Orion editor has the ability to animate the scrolling, but I realize that some people perceive it as a waste of time [1]. What's worse, the animations are not consistent. For example, page up/page down does not animate.

My gut feeling is that the ability to animate (or not) would be best moved into textView.js, instead of trying to implement it at a higher layer. This would make it much easier to ensure consistency. What do you think?

[1] Personally, I'd rather have the editor spend 300 ms showing me how the editor contents are changing, than my brain spending roughly the same time trying to re-orient itself. Is it just me?
