One suggestion which might work if Apple would do it is double tap and hold to go into wiggle mode. Then triple tap an app to market for moving. This way it would bypass the double tap on the app to delete it. So in my suggestion if you triple tap an app it will market for moving. Then you can find the Square or the page you want to move it to and do a triple tap on that new location and the app would be dragged there instantly. I personally don't have any issues with the way it works now, but I also understand that it can be difficult for some people to master or get comfortable with.
