Brainstorm operates in a sort of permanent 'hoist', i.e. only editing one level at a time. So you have to be at a level to place entries there.
You can display more than one level in the 'balloon' view, but you can't edit them.
Shift+drag does what you want, but I assume that the mouse functions were added later in the development history of Brainstorm (which originated in DOS) and they didn't all get their keyboard equivalent.
I believe that most outliners that can edit more than one level in the same window should be able to do what you want.
Throw is faster when the Mark(s) remain(s) in the same position(s) for several operations. Otherwise, cut and paste is faster.
I don't get why it works like this.

Are there any other outliners that has this function ?

But I don't think it would be faster than using the thrown function.
