Move artboards with the Selection Tool the same as Photoshop
In Photoshop, artboards can be moved simply by selecting the artboard name above the artboard. The same functionality would be useful in Illustrator, instead of having to select the Artboard Tool.

What Photoshop does is actually picking the Artboard tool when one clicks the title with Selection tool.
While I think it works in Photoshop, I can imagine it ruining workflows if forced in Illustrator, where layouts are much more complicated and where artboards can nest. Forcefully changing the tool/mode when one want to just select something below the title would be a pain.
So if this ever becomes a thing — I’d like for it to be an option only, disabled by default, nested within the 'Show Artboard name on canvas' one in Preferences > Selection & Anchor Display.
