I just use the scroll wheel / touch pad, especially the one on Apple's mouse is really intutive. But I also try to not have my files get too large, or use the search function to quickly scroll to somewhere I know.

I do all that. But sometimes I find myself editing a file I did not edit. Sometimes that file is large. Actually, that seems to happen a lot.

I think probably most of us use the scroll wheel (or equivalent) to scroll, but the advantage of the visible scroll bar is the immediate feedback of both document length and current location.
