It's certainly a cute effect, although it doesn't really seem to offer many advantages over (say) Apple's spring loaded folders. Like those, it relies on being able to see at least part of the windows you want to manipulate or drop into, which has always seemed to me like the main failing of drag and drop in file managers. More often than not, *I* want to drag things into windows, or even folders, that I haven't opened/created yet :)
