There may be a few select situations when you don't need to turn
cursor tracking off, but you nearly always do. Try dragging a file in
the finder into another folder using column view, or dragging a song
from your iTunes library into a playlist, just for two common
examples. If cursor tracking is on, it doesn't work, it's that
simple. The reason it doesn't work is because of the highlight
change. For example, if you select your music library in the sources
table of iTunes, and start dragging a song from the songs table, then
return to the Sources table to choose a playlist, the song you are
dragging is no longer on the screen. It has been replaced with the
contents of the selected playlist, and therefore the drag and drop
fails. The same is true for column view in the Finder. It is
better, and safer, to turn off cursor tracking, and avoid frustration.

My cursor tracking is always turned on, and I'm able to drag and

By default, keyboard focus is set to track the VO cursor. This is
why you have to turn off cursor tracking. If keyboard focus is not
set to track VO cursor, you do not have to, but that is highly
uncommon. The vast, vast majority of users will keep it at the
default and have the keyboard track. This is why I always
recommend turning cursor tracking off. In fact, the fact that
people don't turn off cursor tracking is the number-one reason,
from what I can tell, that people can't make drag-and-drop work for
them.
