I have a wheel mouse and use the wheel as a middle button all the time, for X-style copy and paste. I don't mind it.... if someone can think of a function for it there's no reason not to use it I do think the wheel should change values though, with the steps being configurable in code to make getting nice round numbers simple and quick. ie for a [-1, 1] slider, every tick of the mouse wheel could be 0.1, so getting to 1.0, and 0.0, etc. would be quick and not require too much hand movement. -DR-
