Now that I think of it, I do remember asking myself if I could live without a "cut" feature as I looked at some Mac tutorials. So I actually knew about that one going in. I figure if I wasn't happy with a basic feature of an OS, I wouldn't use the OS.
As for dragging and dropping, it might be a good idea to know how to do it, but probably in the same way that it's a good idea to know how to make bricks. You just might use it someday, but if there's a simpler way to do it, chances are you'll mostly use that instead.
