yes it is a little annoying. I can understand apple's logic, as it prevents acciential loss of data if you cut a file, then copy another before pasting the original file. Now on Windows this cannot happen because when you cut a file it isn't actually cut until you paste it, so you will not lose the file, but this in itself can be confusing logic (it's not really cut, it's "marked" for moving). I would like to see a "move to..." command or similar in the finder to get around this, but at this point there is ntohing much we can do.
There is a program called FileCutter which claims to allow you to cut and paste files. I have never used it but it might work (it's $5 though. that isn't much, but considering its simplicity I'm not sure I'd be willing to spend anything at all!)
Dragging and dropping is really he only way. Don't forget when dragging and dropping a file from one storage device to another (eg. hard disk to USB drive), you can force it to move the file rather than the default copy by holding down command
