I found the big deal was reversing my windows computer as well. (I reversed mac scrolling weeks ago with Scroll Reverser).

It's lovely once you get used to that (as scrolling matches most smart phones then)

Auto hot key script:

  WheelUp::
  Send {WheelDown}
  Return

  WheelDown::
  Send {WheelUp}
  Return

You can put it back the old way in the system preferences.

Thank god!

Give it a week. After a couple of days your mind flips and suddenly the old way seems wrong.

An hour or so was enough for me. Just one thing to unserdtand: you are moving content, not the window above it. It's much easier to get if you ever used any new touchscreen devices.

And the old way is wrong—the viewport never moves as we scroll so we were always moving content. Just get used to inverted scheme.

I actually like it so far. I'm just worried I won't get used to it on all of my other computers now.

Give it a few days and you'll think going back to the old way will take a lot of getting used to.

I gave it about two hours.

To me it's more intuitive to scroll my two fingers down to scroll down the page.

Granted, it is odd that it's the opposite way round on the iPhone which I use almost as much as my laptop. Go figure!

It's pretty simple: on a touchscreen you're moving the application itself. So having the application "stick" to your finger makes intuitive sense, that's like moving a sheet of paper on a desk, behind a stencil.

On a laptop, you're not really moving the application itself, it's closer to moving a remote-controlled window in front of the application, so moving "up" will move the "window" upwards, and show you what's above the current stuff in the process.

Agreed on both counts. I think it's too unnatural with a mouse so I switched it back on the desktop. On my laptop I left it alone.

I think about it as using my finger to drag the screen up or down on the mousewheel (like I'm scratching the page down or up with my fingernail). After about a week it is very disconcerting to do the opposite.

I did also need to setup my windows computer to do the opposite direction on scroll though to make the transition work (autohotkey script is on this page).
