Yeah, i saw some people curse over the confusing consequence of not 
clicking accurately but starting a drag instead. Or even people that 
thought that duplicating a tab would work by dragging one tab's favicon 
to another tab. And being really surprised about the results :-)
Not only for people that are not very good with the mouse, also for the 
techies that are tired, too fast of just lazy it can cause some 
surprises.

I personally think this is a feature that has too many negative effects 
while providing an advantage only to a tiny percentage of the users.

User research shows again and again that the only people that care about 
altering their environment (tabs, windows but also docking windows etc) 
are technical people. Which obviously is not the main target of KDE. Its 
also a tiny minority.
