I agree. No idea how other people work, but this was basically always a 
necessity to me, not just
a fancy addition. Indeed, it's rather about productivity - in the end things 
can be done without X
altogether - but in the context of a desktop environment, I think copy/pasting 
or writing paths
(sometimes other things, IIRC) manually is overkill, assuming dnd is supported.
Doing some repetitive things in complex tasks without dnd feels unnatural in 
certain situations.
Yes, MMB paste is working, though when handling files with full path it is 
often useless:
- using buttons address bar in the file manager - Ctrl+L usually does the 
trick, though;
- files instead of directories, it's impossible to enter them and select the 
address;
- multiple files.
