unfortunately they don't seriously entertain any discussion about their GUI I think the worst part of this app is the jerky movement of the chess pieces and the fact that there is no way to stop moving a piece to an illegal square. why allow dragged pieces to move to illegal squares? that makes the drag feature a POS. Then you try to use the click click method and the piece lands on a square you didn't want it to land. which ends up being a waste of time.
Piece Movement Settings

Any update on this? I'm looking at a fake setting that says "move method" but doesn't actually let me change the method of moving.

That setting only changes the behavior of the pieces to clicking on them.
Marginally relating to the topic: drag-and-click should be an option (no more mouse-slips! Please include it in the next interface-update, chess.com).
Currently there is no way to turn off drag or click pieces. You can always do both. Personally, I think this sucks. It really starts to mess me up in faster time controls and puzzle rush. I feel like clicking squares is more precise, and I'm way more prone to accidentally drop a piece on the wrong square when dragging. The problem is that since I can still drag, even with the preference set to click, I end up moving the mouse slightly before releasing the left click, and I drag the piece one square. I think it would be better to have more customization of settings and to be able to turn one or the other off completely.
