I assume you mean horizontal?

I would argue that that's precisely the kind of case that the scroll
wheel is better at, since Haiku sends the mouse wheel event to the
view that the mouse pointer is over, rather than the one that has
focus. Ergo, instead of having to precisely position the mouse pointer
over the quite small scroll arrow, it just has to be somewhere in the
target view in order to scroll it, thus presenting a much
larger/easier to use target.
