I'm sorry, Francesco, but the design spec has been set by the design
team for a long time, now. Presently, a long click is the recommended
way of shifting application icons around the launcher. Remember, this
isn't a touchscreen environment - there will be other builds for that as
Unity allows for those environments. This is a *desktop* UI.
Re: Mozilla/Gnome shell having those designs: Saying that Unity should
do it because they are is the bandwagon fallacy.
Again, just because GTK is making it *possible* doesn't mean it *should*
be done.
And, no, a good desktop doesn't have to allow a user to do one thing a
million different ways: Trying to support a million different options
for a million different items is programming madness: Would you want to
maintain all of these options for the sake of the very very few people
that would customize it like that?
"If the press and hold is not interfering with other gestures already
available in unity, adding it to unity will only increase the value for
unity; probably not only for me."
I'm sorry, but that statement has no data to back it up. It may increase
the value for Unity but it would in effect trash the design that Ayatana
has been working on for years and inevitably cause much breakage on the
dev side of things.
