It's also a handy way to get a window that got moved off screen easily, which can happen in setups with multiple monitors that get connected and disconnected.
Also, most applications will actually honor Ctrl+C/V as well as the Ctrl+Insert/Shift+Insert shortcuts, from the 1987 IBM CUA guidelines[0].
(Up until Aero Snap in Vista and it's keyboard shortcuts of Win+Arrow Key I used to use Alt+Space,M a bunch because it was always the easiest way to move any window by keyboard in the event it got stuck somewhere out of mouse range or you just didn't feel like switching to mouse.)
