For a long time, macs have had smooth scrolling, accurate down to the pixel (not confined to snapping position by line), but now the latest windows 10 also has smooth scrolling, with two-finger swipe gesture, and because gvim jumps by whole lines, it's difficult to see, and it scrolls far too fast. I've been forced to start using VSCode with Vim plugin, because it supports smooth scrolling. VSCode with vim plugin is pretty good, but it's not a full implementation of vim, so it' not as good as real gvim (if only there were smooth scrolling).

My guess (but it's no more than, well, call it an "educated guess") is
that it would be possible but not obvious, and probably low-priority.
I suggest adding this (if not already present) to the TODO list, so
that anyone interested and capable may try his/her hand at
implementing it. Edward Ned, if _you_ want to delve into the Vim
codebase and try to find out what to change, by all means go ahead:
Vim is open-source, and its codebase is nowhere as bulky as that of,
let's say, Firefox. ;-)

Best regards,
Tony.
