Incidentally, although it is a different UI, Squeak has a VERY convenient way to move text around.  A lot of people don't know about it because it is called the...

Exchange command
It's original and current design is to exchange the two most recently selected pieces of text.  So:  double click on one word, double click on another, type cmd-e, and *poof* they get exchanged.  Same for the bodies of two blocks, or two lines, etc.

Now, what many people don't realize is that if the second selection is null -- ie an insertion point -- then this same command will MOVE the entire first selection to the location of insertion point.  Zap.  It's sooo easy.
