I'm personnaly a fan of cp ... /floppy, but well ... 

The advantage of  the send-to method is that it can  be done with just
one konqueror window  open, and even if the desktop  is not visible at
that time (one window is maximized, typically).

Not only  there. It is  really hard to  find the floppy device  in the
Konqueror window too : You have a tab for your home directory, another
for the root  directory, and you have to get  it from /mnt/floppy most
of  the time.  The newbie  will not  want to  look inside  /mnt, which
doesn't mean anything to him ... 

At  a time,  Corel  had a  fork  of konqueror  with  entries for  each
partition under the root. I think this was a good idea.
