Why?  I think the main reason for having marks it the ability to quickly
jump to a certain part of the file.  I find the scroll bar to the right
easier to use, faster, and more powerful.  I never want to _exactly_ jump
to an earlier location, only to about the same place.  A scroll bar is just
what I need.
