My only concern with having switched to mac is that most, if not all, expert users have this tendency to disregard shortcomings of mac and answer by explaining how to do something in a different, more cumbersome way, regardless of what the user wants or was asking for. It’s obvious what the question is here, and the answer should be either:

- Yes it can be done. You have to press….
- No it can’t be done and the reason is…
- No it can’t be done, we don’t know why.

Moving files using cmd and carrying the file with the pointer is very inefficient and not at all the same thing as ctrl X/ctrl V on Windows. End of story. 

You can only move one file, you have to have source and location open before you start, unless you want to spend minutes pointing on different folder along the way, while keeping trackpad pressed so you don’t drop the file. If you slip for some reason while moving, the file will drop into a folder somewhere where you happened to have your pointer, which means going through a number of them to find the file again. And so on…

Please, honestly, is there a ctrlX/ctrlV type functionality for files on Mac, and if so, what is it? If not, just say so. It won’t detract from my overall positive opinion about Mac and OSX.
