I just made the transition from Codewarrior to XCode 2.2 and the first
thing I noticed was that the Editor is not capable of performing
drag and drop. Is this indeed not possible or do I need to set
a flag somewhere?


Ii suspect that perhaps what you are encountering is the difference in the way that text-dragging works between Carbon and Cocoa. In a Cocoa app (e.g. XCode), to drag a few words of text: you select them, then release the mouse button, click on the selected text and keep the mouse still for a fraction of a second, and then you drag.
It is the fraction of a second keeping the mouse still that you are missing.

Is there any way to change this behaviour? I prefer the CodeWarrior method - I get loads of failed drags in XCode because the delay seems to be quite variable.

Also, when dragging in the project file list you may have to hold the mouse button down for several seconds before dragging starts. This is really frustrating when you're trying to drag groups of files into build phases.
