Seriously, when that rolled out decades ago it was one of the dumbest things and still gets me. I always want to start a selection on the text. Dragging the text somewhere else never does what I want it to and I end up having to copy/paste anyway

And yet lists of things often allow dragging of individual items to rearrange them. I wonder if thinking of paragraphs of text, and perhaps even sentences, in a similar way might make the dragging of text feature more appealing (I also dislike it).

Yeah, if it was code blocks, I still wouldn’t use it but it wouldn’t seem ludicrous.
