Everything about how Apple chose to introduce Home Screen customization (and teach people how to use it) really captured what Apple gets and so many people completely miss.
Clear instructions, followed by the icons going from dormant to “wiggly” is just an excellent example of a well-executed, playful user experience.
This action gave me the same satisfaction I got the first time I experienced the "Slide to Unlock" (which incidentally was what sold me on this little bugger)

I dunno. Anything that requires that much instruction on-screen is probably just shy of the best solution. I dismissed that overlay without reading and it took me a very very long time to figure out how to get the icons to stop shaking again. If you press and hold to start the shaking, shouldn’t you press and hold to stop them again? No, silly me, you hit the “home” button.
I could see that. In retrospect, I may have missed the Home to go back part too. Maybe I was just blinded by the wiggle + drag.
