You're absolutely right. You can't always tell whether there's more content below if there's no scrollbar. I don't want to have to scroll just to see if there's more content.
Does anyone else think that Apple made terrible decision hiding scrollbars?

#12For the record, it only hides scrollbars when you're using a trackpad. If you use a mouse, the scrollbars stay visible at all times.
As for whether or not it's a good idea, in practical experience it seems to be fine.

#13No, it's a great decision. It's less clutter on the screen.
FYI, the scrollbars are always visible on my MBP 2011 using just a trackpad. I love it.
If they did disappear, it's merely a quick two-finger touch of the trackpad to see where I'm at and how much is left.
