I thought about that, too, but I didn't come to a conclusion yet :-)
Fact is, if you're not that good with the mouse, using drag&drop can 
just be too much. Now, if you also don't easily reach a keyboard (ie. 
let's say your one-armed and would need to switch from mouse to 
keyboard - how annoying is that?), you'd be very glad to find those in 
the menu. I wouldn't mind if the context menu would differ from the 
window menu in that regard, though.

That's definitely not what I'd expect.
