It's the same behaviour as OSX afaik, and we all know that everything
Apple do is perfect in every way ;-)

Joking aside, I don't see how this feature can do any harm, and for a lot
of people it's an usability improvement - i.e. they don't have to be so
precise on the mouse and don't need to understand the difference between
windeco and window background in order to drag stuff.

I'm fairly indifferent, with a slight leaning towards keeping the feature
enabled - and thus sticking to the upstream default.

FWIW, the reason I wanted to disable it was that I was often moving windows
around when I just wanted to resize the panes inside a window. This happens
if I do not precisely drag the divider (between two panes) but rather a
few pixels above the divider. What happens in this case is that the whole
window moves (often un-maximises and moves). Personally, I found it
frustrating.

Cheers,

Alvin

I haven't noticed that until now, but I agree this is irritating, especially
when one doesn't know to just move the window to the top to fullscreen it once
more.

I always use alt + drag to move a window, as a windows user I would only find
it by accident, the established move window workflow is the top bar =/

Do any of you longtime users really drag windows around by finding an
background of the window instead of using alt+drag?

I am doing it more and more now. It required consciously thinking
about it initially, but it is getting more natural as I do it more and
more.
