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.
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.

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