I purely use move, I don't think I've ever seen a use for drag without
smart re-routing of wires. Each to their own really. Both options should
stay because everyone has a different opinion and use.

As another opinion, I really don't like nag dialogs. We would be better off
getting more tutorials, and/or improving the documentation.

The translators have the minimum amount of work to do then too as the
documentation is in the manual, and not semi-repeated in a small nag box.

Best Regards, Brian.
