Really, it's 2013, and we can't re-order icons with the mouse by default? Exactly. It's 2013 and that's why we don't reorder icons with mouse. MacOS had the ability to reorder program icons in 1984. MS Office 97 had the ability to drag-n-drop menu items in 1997. But you can not rearrange program icons in iOS 6.1 and menu MS Office 2013! I'm still not sure if it's good trend or not, but it's not like GNOME is the only program which moves in this direction.

To be clear, we're discussing launcher short-cut icons, e.g. on the panel.
In both Android and iOS you have complete freedom to add, re-arrange and remove the short-cut icons on the default / "home" / front screen.

Likewise, in GNOME Shell I can re-arrange and remove the short-cut icons on the dock.
What was your complaint again?

What part of the word "panel" was confusing to you?

Sorry, I lost track of the context and forgot you were talking about the new classic mode, rather than stock GNOME Shell (which doesn't have launchers on a panel).

The panel in GNOME shell also is lacking an ability to add/remove/re-organise launchers with the mouse. It's not incapable of supporting launchers though...
