Or for people who don't realize you can open _exactly_ two windows for 
this in browser mode whenever you need them...

This isn't an either/or issue.  If you want 2 windows to drag/drop in 
browser mode, just open 2 windows.  Works the same across 
Windows/Mac/KDE/Gnome.

If you have a decent multitasking OS and window system that lets you 
open as many instances as you want of whatever you want, why do people 
still think that apps need to deal with that stuff themselves?
