Clutter depends on you... if you don't copy it over then it doesn't appear, drag half a dozen books over and that's all that goes but drag a load of folders then you'll get the additional clutter. I use both calibre and drag'n'drop to move books but I move my books from a separate copy of the collection rather than calibre's original store which is really cluttered with extra stuff.
If you are only going to move from calibre itself then I'd stick to calibre's internal transfer but from elsewhere d'n'd works fine provided you select what you move carefully...
