I ***HATE*** dragging items around the worklist; you have to get it in 
precisely the right spot to work.  Since I have problems with tremors, 
such fine mouse control is often very difficult and time consuming for 
me.

I really miss the editing key shortcuts for working with worklists; 
all the keys you needed were in one cluster (Insert/Delete to 
add/subtract items, Home/End to switch to worklist/available 
production, and PageUp/PageDown to move items up and down).

Mind you, I'm not saying that there shouldn't be the drag-and-drop 
interface.  One principle I use from my own programming is that if at 
all possible, one should be able to use a program both entirely with 
the mouse and entirely with the keyboard.
