I feel the same way! I hate clicking the wheel button!

So imagine my displeasure when I started messing around with a 3D editor that predominately used the wheel button for manipulating the viewpoint. :-(

hehe.. i didn't know there are people even bothered by the mouse-wheel scroll button thingy.. ;)

P.S. i use it to autoscroll in Firefox.

Yes, it feels wrong to 'push' the mouse scroll wheel for me too.

it does feel wrong, but it is SO useful, i use it mainly for open-in-a-new-tab in firefox, but have also found other uses for it.
