I use it, it was the first thing I enabled when it was available in 
Lazarus. I seldom use my mouse for text navigation (to slow) but in 
cases where I like to put my caret on a place using the mouse, it is in 
the visible area of the screen.
When using keyboard navigation it can be outside that area.

Thats fine with me. Having the scrollbar limited to the 
max(screenwidht+something, longest line) makes sense.
