I totally agree, I raised the issue YEARS ago in OOo, founded (with a small donation as a "thank you" and convincing a developer) the implementation of the snap in Koffice, and today, with 4.0 out, I feel really sad that to set visually the margin at 2cm I can't do with drag and drop. Basic UI design principles dictate that "gizmos" must be manipulated in a useful and reasonable way, having the ruler be moved of 1/100 millimetre makes no sense, if I want 1/100 precision I will use the "indent and spacing", for all the rest I must be able to drag the ruler.
