Actually no, transpose-lines is very confusing from the user point of
view... because the line moved is not the current one, but the previous
one...

but also, the cursor moves with it but not to it, but to the beginning
of the next one, so we lost the current column position and line; so it
looks like a command that acts outside the current position and moves
the cursor to random places.

Moving the current line one row up means all these steps:

(let ((column (current-column)))
      (next-line)
      (transpose-lines -1)
      (previous-line)
      (forward-char column))

Could we make user live easier for simple editing stuff??

These commands + a repeat keymap are very useful?

Best,
