The clipboard actually works in Gnome so it's more useful I guess
If, by "actually works", you mean it modifies what's pasted from what was marked, trying to second-guess the user like in Microsoft Windows' clipboard, yes, I suppose you are right.
However, I kind of like not getting presentation but just raw text when I copy. I don't want the fonts. I don't want artificial line breaks from the presentation. I don't want tabs adjusted so they align. And if I copy an "ø", I don't want it to be translated to unicode.
