>>>You can change the scroll setting if you don’t want to adjust.
I did. Calling it “Natural” is oxymoronic- because it’s not when it goes bas-ackwards to what you’ve been doing prior.
It only seems backwards if you are still using a mouse. For Lion I would suggest a Magic Trackpad. Using gestures and swiping back and forth between web pages is a joy in Lion. Gestures are so tightly integrated now, you almost do yourself a service not to use them.
I getannoyed now, every time I have to click a back button in a browser.
"Natural" and "habitual" aren't the same thing.
The "natural" scrolling, as used on IOS, certainly feels more natural on a touch screen. It would be bizarre to push the content in one direction and have it move in the opposite direction. The scrolling we're used to is an artifact of the way scroll bars worked in the early days of graphical user interfaces, when there was no scroll wheel on the mouse and scrolling down meant moving a slider.
If we were starting from scratch, the "natural" method makes more sense. But I wasn't in the mood to try to unlearn that habit, so I switched it off after about five minutes. I'll probably try "natural" scrolling again when I switch to the magic trackpad, when I'm going to be learning new habits anyway.
