One of the strengths of RISC OS is the ability for people to drag'n'drop objects around the desktop. It's usually hard to describe how well this works, but other operating systems are rapidly catching up. While RISC OS still arguably has the edge, Drobe spoke to a number of professionals who rely on the drag'n'drop in RISC OS.

This metaphor advertises a healthy dose of "everything is an object" (not the excuse for overengineering)
When it comes to the metaphor of "everything is an object" i much longer prefer the right-click approach.
If something is an object, right clicking on it shows me all the operation i can do with it, without the need of other objects.
Drag and drop looks more like a "procedural approach" where the object is the data and the place where you "drop" it is the function.
