My gut reaction is the opposite, but that's at least partly because I almost always use firefox and gaim, and almost never GNOME stuff. I'm also somewhat reacting to gedit's failure to destroy a tabless window when you drag the last tab out.
if the tabs are few and big, dragging the tab certainly works well, because you can still see your target. if the tabs get small and/or many, the arrows would seem to be better, allowing more precision.
Since we restrict how small our tabs can get (firefox doesn't do so nearly as soon), this may not be a concern.
