I disagree, holding stuff isn't bad its just awkward. Once you get used to it, it actually gets quite intuitive and much easier to move stuff around. Some general tips:
If your trying to move a heavy object around, hold shift and tap e for like, a quarter of a second. You should see a thin white line connecting your cursor to the object. This lets you move stuff around SO MUCH EASIER!
While holding an object you want to sell (old monitor or chair ect), you can shift left click to put it into the drone sell bag. Meaning you can sell stuff you wouldn't have been able to normally.
Tap "e" then "r" to quickly put the item your looking at into your inventory. Clean up trash piles at lighting speed!
