--- Comment #2 from Luke Kendall <luke.kendall at gmail.com> ---
Short answer: no, definitely not.

Reasons:
1. Main problem is that it only swaps paragraphs (not a word, phrase, or
clause).
2. For me, swapping paragraphs is very rare. For a paragraph, I would be far
more likely to simply cut and paste one para into a different place than to
swap two.
3. If Shift+ctrl+up/down only swaps the text (para) with the previous/next, it
would require more user steps than  cut/paste, when the paragraph needs to be
bubbled up/down further.
4. It also doesn't take advantage of the UI idea of having 
  <last-cut text + associated location in document>
coupled with
  <current text selection + its location in document>
to give you two text "selections" which you could apply binary operations to.
Admittedly, the only binary operation that springs immediately to mind as
useful is "swap"!

I hope these comments are helpful.
