Emacs predates vi, so if either program is guilty of incompatibility, it is
the latter. 

Secondly, there is no correct definition of "scroll up" or "scroll down",
because the direction of scrolling depends on your frame of reference.
There's no particular reason to choose one frame of reference over another;
some people find one more intuitive, others another.
