I'm not judging, I'm genuinely curious whether anyone uses it. Because almost every text editor supports it yet when I use it, it's just by accident and it messes up my document

I'm not against the idea but I don't personally use this. It could be useful in certain edge case, for instance in very tricky formatting situation in a rich text editor.
One thing that is annoying is doing it by accident, especially if you don't realize it and continue editing so now you can't undo either.
Also, this feature should live update as you drag stuff around, not only once you release the button.
