Not significantly.

Yes, but not significantly as regards to cut and paste.
swipe at paste is entirely different from OS/2 and Windows, and KDE does
it considerably better, afics, than Gnome.
Hence my questions.
And some apps insist on doing it the Windows way, and some both ways.
X has two mechanisms... selections, and the clipboard. Selections
obviously only work while the application in which the selection occurs is
running, while the clipboard persists.
that's not my experience in KDE.
