I usually use the right-mouse context menus to cut/copy and paste so it 
doesn't have to be a continuous motion to the destination and I can 
bring a new target to the front if needed.  I don't have to remember the 
modifier to distinguish between copy/move (or whether it is the same 
across all platforms) and it is less susceptible to wiggles that 
accidentally land in the wrong place.

Still sounds worse than being able to position over any visible folder 
or the desktop with the right-mouse/paste.
