Wait, am I missing something obvious here, or are you seriously complaining about people reversing the scroll direction on their own computers?

Apple reverses scrolling by default. I don't know about other coders' computers, but there are people who don't know how to change it, and whenever I boot into recovery mode it gets reversed.

It's only "reversed" if you consider the other direction "normal". Either one makes sense: Mac acts like your finger is moving the page itself; X11 and Windows act like your finger is moving the location indicator on the scrollbar. Either one makes sense a priori, but once you're used to one the other becomes intolerable.

Nah, I change back and forth between Mac and Linux. It's bearable.

I'm actually glad this complaint was made. But only because I was unaware that you could change the scroll direction on a Mac.

I will definitely be making that "overcustomization" on my Mac. :-D
