Speaking of cut'n'paste, though, it'd be nice if X was more consistent in this area.
What's inconsistent about X?
Highlight the text you want, click the second button where you want it to go. You don't need any silly keystrokes, much less combinations. (Not that I'm against keyboard control, but if you're going to highlight with the mouse anyway...*)
Only exception that springs to mind is netscape, but you should be using lynx anyway.
Well, I guess I'm assuming you aren't using some weirdo window manager that tries to act like another operating system, but twm should be enough for anyone.
* I'll grant that I don't always highlight with a mouse, especially on macs, where shift-right/left highlights a letter, option-shift-right/left highlights a word, and shift-up/down highlight lines, but still...
Wine, it seems to me, is a clear statement that Linux users want or need the programs those Windows programmers have written.
... or a clear statment that Linux users want or need to be able to say that Linux supports everything that Windows does in order to convince Windows-obsessed users that Linux is worth using.
I'm actually not too sure why I'm taking part in this argument, as I'm a NetBSD, Solaris, NeXTStep, and macos (rhymes with Bacos!) user. Oh well.
I mean that [MS Windows] is so easy to operate that you don't need to pick up a book to configure it...
Maybe you don't need to pick up a book to configure Win9x/NT, but there are plenty of books out there on how to do so, and their authors aren't exactly starving.

Mac guys--where are you?
Thinking of writing serial qcam support for PPC-based Linux, so I don't have to ditch my webcam when in (Mk)Linux(PPC).
...and maybe using NetBSD instead, but hey, OSS is OSS.
