I'll dissent here: I like it. It's different from the default behavior and took a moment to get used to, but I much prefer this to the parallax-esque behavior I see more commonly. This mimics a swipe very well. Though worth noting that I scroll with two fingers on a touch pad, so it turns into very much a physical swipe.
The UX is definitely different, but it works for me.
I like it too, when it works. It's a nice clean swipe thing. But it goes in the opposite direction for me about 30% of the time. (Using two-finger scroll on a Macbook Pro trackpad.)
