I agree that Apple's done a great job with making their trackpads ergonomic. I can't actually recite all the gestures I use on a daily basis on it. 1) I don't know what software stack you're using (I'm on Debian Linux) but acceleration is a supported setting on both the TrackPoint and the TrackPad. Personally I find acceleration vital to them being usable. On Windows there's QL mouse accel filter to customize the curve to an advanced level. On macOS there's an older software called ControllerMate that let you set a custom acceleration curve. I don't know if it works on modern systems though. 2) I don't know what 3-finger DND is because I use 1 finger to DND. Mind explaining a bit more? I've got 3 fingers bound to Mission Control which might be a default and I find quite handy. |

About the 3-finger drag-and-drop - it used to be on by default. Now you have to enable it manually since 3-finger swipes are bound to Mission Control and Expose. Once you enable it, Mission Control and Expose will be bound to 4-finger swipes. To enable it:
- Go to Settings > Accessibility > Pointer Control > Trackpad Options...
- tick the box 'Enable dragging'
- select 'three finger drag'

You don't need to worry about running out of space when dragging with 3 fingers - once you start dragging with 3 fingers, you can leave 2 fingers on the trackpad and keep dragging with your 3rd finger.
