A whole generation of people who click all over to find places that do something. People have this problem where they feel 'proudly vested' in learning things that just weren't designed well.

10 years ago someone decided that dragging links is so much more important than selecting text, selecting text is scarcely possible. I'm going to have to fork a browser to give link-dragging the demotion it deserves. It was probably those DIV guys.

This is a great point that I don't see brought up enough. I don't know if I've ever purposely wanted to drag a link but I struggle to highlight/select some in a link every other day
