I have a mouse with a mousewheel and i don't agree. A mousewheel is not a continous
controller and therefor has limits when using it for twidling knobs. If the discrete
steps are to wide, then large motions are easy on a knob, but fine tuning is impossible.
If the discrete steps are fine enough for fine tuning, then large adjustments are time and
mouse wheel consuming :). I suppose this problem can be tackled by either usage of
modifier keys and/or non linear behaviour.. But to say that mousewheels are the consensus
is imho far fetched...
