I hate it. I mean, it's really clunky compared to keyboard shortcuts. Or am I just doing it wrong?
My problem is if I want to move a file from one location to another, I click on the file, then C A R E F U L L Y drag it to E X A C T L Y the folder I want to drop it in and half the time accidentally drop it in the wrong place. And really most of the time, I am mid drag and run out of room to finish the drag. I have to pick the mouse up, while still carefully holding the mouse button down, and then move it over and continue my d and d procedure. And usually when I do that I accidentally release the mouse button and drop it "somewhere" and don't even know where I was when I dropped it.
And if I want to move a file, I have to open two finder windows, resize them so I can see what I need to see to make the move, navigate in each window to the right folder, get everything lined up and them usually screw it up anyway.
Don't get me wrong, I love my new Mac, but drag and drop ain't one of the reasons why. I miss Ctrl-X, Ctrl-V *bigtime*. Someone please tell me I am going about it all wrong and there's an easy fix? File management is so much harder on the Mac for me. I've had the Mac for about 5 months now and I am a little but more proficient, but evrything still takes a lot longer than it used to on PC.
