Click-move-click has an *important* benefit which is why Uli implemented it
in Kandinsky. After the initial click you are free to release the mouse and
scroll the window/s and select option/s selected tools before returning
to complete the drawing action. This makes it possible to start a drawing
action in a small area of a drawing (e.g. Zoomed in tight on a detail)
then move to display a completely seperate area of the drawing to
complete the drawing action.
This isn't usually possible with a click-drag action (as used by EasyDraw
and other drawing package) and is a definite productivity aid.
It's also the method used by Corel Draw (the most popular vector drawing
package in the world?) so he's in good company!
*** Please do not rule out using this mouse action ***
