Well, that's not really Nautilus' fault!

Also, consider that Nautilus is a GUI - how does it know where you want
to drop something? Once in a directory, it waits; while navigating, it
descends. For every person who wants the delay longer there will be
people like me who want it shorter :-)

Though I agree that this could definitely be a configurable item; certainly would not hurt, and would also assist people with disabilities.

If you want absolute control, use the command line. With aliases and scripts you can have complete control, especially useful for common repeated tasks (such as, say, moving something from your Downloads Downloads directory to your /home/rikona/this/that/the_other/movies directory).
