And you get people to use Linux by removing features that make Linux attractive in the first place? The mess that is Windows clipboard and cut/paste is what drove me to Linux when I started with it, and I've heard the same from other people too.

"Users of W don't know X" leads to "Let make our system like W" which is a ruse of an argument, that was pointed out already.

I encourage you to read the grandparent of your comment and specifically this quote (from ndiddy):

"I don't know why they're using familiarity as an argument when GNOME has intentionally behaved completely differently from the Windows/Mac desktop for the past 15 years."
