Even with a mouse wheel, for anything more than a screen or two of information, I prefer to grab the scroll bar and manually move it to where I want. I hate it when site or apps use a skinny scroll bar, because it makes it a more difficult click target. Honestly, I've never used a site that used custom scrollbars that I was happy to see, for this reason, and the others that are in this thread.
I guess it all comes down to the designer changing what should be an operating system or browser style choice. I'm going to use the application for a few minutes, but I use the OS for hours. Everything within the scope of the application is up for grabs, but when you change how I expect the container for the application to look and feel, then it gets annoying. This includes scroll bars and mouse cursors in web application, custom title bars and window controls in desktop applications, and various other tweaks.
