  Well, no, I'm +1 for disabling this effect because of the reasons I wrote above. If some folks want to have translucent windows, then they just have to enable the Translucency effect and set desired opacity for inactive windows, etc. "Simple by default, powerful when needed".

  Major "players"(macOS, Windows, GNOME Shell) don't make moving windows translucent.
