Yes. This please. I so so SO hate the drafts section.

Regularly I have DM conversations with people and might have typed out half a message when I need to respond to another channel/DM. But when I go back to the first conversation... it's gone. Because instead of being at the bottom of my list where I expect to see it (like I do the other 99.99999% of the time)... it's up at the top.

Don't. Move. Around. The. UI.

Or, if they want to keep the drafts section... Duplicate the channel, don't move it. That way you get the best of both worlds
Or simply provide a preference setting. Sure, if you like it go for it. But I don't, let me turn it off.
This is the key. I don't think most people would care about the drafts section if it appeared and disappeared without disrupting the normal way of doing things!
I suggest getting used to switching around using Ctrl-K instead of using the mouse. If you only have one "draft", just pushing Ctrl-K, Enter will take you back to it. If there's more than one, you might need to type a couple of letters before pushing Enter.
