While I hate that Apple hides the scrollbar when not in use for the main page, the new iOS-inspired scrollbar looks much nicer when designing scrolling divs inside the page.
[Note: never said anything about custom scrollbars; just that websites with scrolling divs tend to look better on OSX]
If you hate that your scrollbar is hidden when not in use, you can go to System Preferences / General and change the "Show scroll bars" setting to "Always".
If you hate that my scrollbar is hidden when not in use, well, tough luck. I like it this way.
If you force yet another custom, badly-implemented, weirdly-behaving, not-entirely-thought-through scrollbar on me, I will hate you and never visit your website again.

Pretty sure Gmail uses custom scrollbars and I wouldn't be surprised if it's the most commonly used e-mail in the world.
I think Facebook also uses a custom scrollbar on their activity feed.
Same with Rdio's web app and Spotify's web app (unless it looks different on PC?)
Are you a mouse user or do you use a touchpad? I have a theory that the new OSX scrollbars only really work for touchpad users and everyone with a mouse hates them ;)
