While there are many ways to drag a file by means of changing focus from the source to the destination window, there are times when you don't want to keep switching up focus. I really like the way that, through using some simple gestures, I can move or copy files without being forced to change my window focus. The folding animation looks nice, but also serves the purpose of providing a more intuitive handling of open windows.
I hope to see this feature improved, along with user interface control involving gestures in general, because that is where the real innovations will come from.
