Ok think we all agree that this should be implemented right?
Personally I do understand all those things Humdinger talks about, yet I'm
still sticking to hidden scollbars(explaint above) (and I do scroll a lot
trust me). So I guess it's just a matter of taste and should implemented
in both ways. Let the user decide...

However, I still like to scroll a long text page-wise by
clicking in the scroll bar above/below the knob.
Ok, fair enough.
I also like to see where I am on the page with a glance. Or if I can
scroll at all. Therefore completely hiding them would very bad IMO.
Now this I can agree with. I have started a minimal scroll movement just
to make the scrollbar appear to see where I am at ;)
Maybe some light use of transparency overlay could be used here to show
the knob/arrows when inactive, still giving the max area for content, but
also giving some feedback on scrolling availability.
Lets face it, the old scrollbars around a document where only around to
not have to do layers / transparency, for performance reasons. Even old
hardware these days can handle that quite well if properly implemented now.
