Just to note an idea for that sort of stuff:
a really good feature of Emacs is the ability to mark a beginning of a block
by left-clicking, mark the end by right-clicking, and then if right-clicking
again it cuts the block.
It is even possible to paste it anywhere you want by middle-clicking (even
after the block disappeared if you just cut it!).
So you can just do the same thing as Drag'n'drop move in a matter of clicks
(which is, in my opinion, easier than a held-left-mouse selection.)
