OLE was a MS invention - so?  You could add a drawing item using the
menu options - You could configure your menu options to make it
simpler than how it works out of the box.

Or you could use the standard menu option of insert > OLE object, then
select 'drawing' from the list of options.

I agree that initially when you insert a 'draw' file (as an OLE) there
is some movement that is required to get it to display as required -
however I've not seen any 'distortion' that cannot be resolved.  I've
found that this happens for OLE inserts and is not just OOo.

Not on my install. Just tried to replicate and couldn't. If you can
replicate however, it may be worth filing a bug report with the
specifics of your OS, OOo version, etc...
