I find the opposite to be true for me, and I use a Laptop connected to my TV mostly. When on ICMag, which uses a page number system, I find I have to guess, add a page number, and keep doing that until I find what I am looking for where as here I just scroll. That is a much simpler method, IMO. Some threads end up with hundreds of pages. Remembering a date is no more complicated than remembering a page number for me. That said, we all have ways we like to do things and it all comes down to preference.

I have developed new muscles while scrolling the pages with my mouse wheel 
, I feel strange when I donāt find that feature in other pages. In fact, Iām in a Russian tracker where you can insert a script that adds that feature, which was kindly translated by the author for me ā¦

You can āclickā the mouse wheel and move up or down for auto scrolling.

I hated at first for the āfacebook/instagramā sensation, but iām now more than used i must confess. Iām even liking the kind of mess it generate, it force me to discover new faces instead to lurk always the same things (growlogs mostly).

page up and down works better than mouse scrolling anyway.
That is subjective

not if you have a laptop. i donāt, but using a mouse is a crutch. i learned that the hard way when i was at work in the '90s and my mouse broke. it was a serial mouse and all we had were ps2 ones, so i had to work for two weeks without one. i learned lots of tricks that are way faster than using a mouse. it looks really cool when you sit down at someoneās computer and donāt use the mouse when youāre working on it too. almost like before a mouse was invented.

Cool story 
Like I said, itās subjective. I personally do not miss the days of command line, nor do I operate a computer as performance piece, so looking cool whilst doing so is a non issue for me.

i never was much on looking cool either, that was just a happy accident. the speed you gain by keeping both hands on the keyboard at all times is worth it though. but as you said, subjective. itās all good brother. have a great day.

I was hearing more about this when looking into Linux (not that itās related). Using shortcut keys, key combos, instead of constantly using the mouse. Itās just so hard to not grab the mouse.

Itās a personal preference/ergonomics thing, whatever is lost comfortable to you is best.
You are not a certified leet hacker if you donāt use this site strictly through vi and curl in a terminal.
In all seriousness, as long as everything is always sorted chronologically Iām happy. Thatās one of the many things I hate about modern social media (ie, not forums lol) - your feed is sorted by popularity and/or algorithm for selling you shit. I was a compulsive Reddit lurker/occasional poster for years and Iām so glad I quit!

I recall Bill Gates āpunishingā his workers by not using the mouse once a day every year so they donāt forget to use those key shortcutsā¦
