This sounds like my favorite line from the movie "The
Bluesbrothers". The band (playing blues) comes to a small place
in the countryside and asks what kind of music is usually played
there. "We have *both* kinds: Country *and* Western."
When the choice is between scrolling and clicking, perhaps we
need to move on to something entirely new in interface design.
Wiktionary is limited by the Mediawiki software, which is great
for collaboratively writing an encyclopedia, but its innovation
is the "edit" button, not its browsing user interface. What kind
of user interfaces do commercial dictionary software (without the
edit button and revision history) use? Dynamic mind-maps?
