Perhaps this is a matter of taste. In my opinion vertical scrolling is no bad usability when a multicolumn layout is used. This is how it works on all websites which use a multicolumn layout. You read the text more like in a newspaper than in a book.

In my opinion horizontal scrolling is bad usability, I've seen this never before.
