Why worry about it? It's nice that all of the scrollbars are native and styled the same throughout the system.
"The same throughout the system" except when they're not, e.g. Aperture, iPhoto, Logic, just to name examples from Apple. ;) The problem is the white bars are really ugly with a dark background and even more now with a dark background Line Numbers gutter. This is not a problem in most app, as you can't change the background and it's light most of the time… In fact, the few non white background apps I have have non white scrollbars gutters.
I really hope I'll have an all dark background TM2 one day, although the first change needed is the File Browser. ;)
I'm not arguing that they are a bad thing. I just don't think it's necessarily a good direction to go down the "completely skinable" road. It's pretty easy to make a decent looking syntax coloring theme for the editor window, it's a completely different thing to make a decent looking interface theme.
Agreed, but I never asked to make them skinable. The best for me would be to have no gutter, just the theme background, and a dark or light scrollbar depending on the background color. Just like when the "When scrolling" option is checked, but always visible.
The File Browser is a different story, though.
