Upstream unfortunately enables that "feature" by default. IMHO, we should disable that silliness in kde-settings. Active screen edges just suck.
I beg to differ. I find this behaviour very handy to quickly organize windows. I don't know of any other simpler way to achieve tiling of windows.
I can't imagine how. Before even trying to do that I can't imagine how dragging to the snap area is easier than double clicking the titlebar or single clicking the maximize button if I actually want the window maximized. If I drag a window into a snap area, it's because I want the window at that edge, whether top, bottom or side, not change its size. The principle of least surprise is violated by having different behaviors at different edges.
And I don't quite see the problem with it. It is triggered only when the mouse pointer (and not just the window edges) touches the screen edges. And there's already snap-to-screen-edge feature for those who want that.

If you are having problem of accidental maximize when dragging a window by the title bar to the screen's top edge, you can consider Alt+Drag on the window area instead.
No-go. I'm either using keyboard (2 hands), or mouse (1 hand), never both at once. No way I can remember which shift key does what with what mouse button in what context, dating all the way back to 1993 with the OS/2 WPS.
And finally, in true KDE spirit, one can always disable this.
For sure, but the least surprise rule is reason enough for not having the current default as it is.
