Cut-and-paste is functionally equivalent to drag-and-drop, but the
interface is different. I just tried nedit, it supports
drag-and-drop: you mark something with mouse-1, then press mouse-2 on
it, then drag the mouse and you will see the text move in real-time,
as you move the mouse. Releasing the mouse button then finishes the
move.
Drag-and-drop gives the user more feedback about what happens.
