Forced Simplification would force it to operate via drag and drop...

Except that drag and drop is the same number of operations. Mouse down, move, mouse up, versus: Mouse click, move, mouse click. I'm not sure how that makes the interface any simpler to use?

Though really, drag and drop is a lot more operations overall, because in the current system you can do simple shift-clicks to add multiple copies of the same component without moving back to the component list and reselecting it. Double-click for auto placement beats both though.
