I've mentioned is several times at the begining of the article - this feature makes sense only if majority of users of your application are mobile (using touchpad) or using some other touch enabled devices (like gesture pads). However what I've noticed was that non mobile users (or mobile ones with mouse connected to their notebooks) most of the time failed to notice there was any extra scrolling gesture enabled. So in my experience, this feature adds benefit for mobile users without making situation worse for desktop users. Whether it is worth adding into your or anybody elses application depends on target audience and type of the app and have to be decided on case by case basis. That could be the reason why not that many people tried to add something like that to regular java apps. After all majority of users are still using mouse.
