You may not like a feature, which is fine, but a lot of people do.

Sure. I agree with that. But I think you’re seeing this in reverse of the point I was trying to make. My point is that you might think this feature is mission critical, but a lot of people do not. The purpose of my previous post was to imply that you are over-emphasising its importance.

I understand that you personally want a fancy clipboard with lots of features; but for me, I actually explicitly deliberately only want a single item clipboard. I want the predictable simple certainty of what is and what is not stored in the clipboard. And if I ever had a multi-item clipboard with a UI interface, I’d be calling that confusing bloatware and looking for how to delete it.

So I don’t think we should rank each OS by how fancy its clipboard is.

In which case average Joe needs people like us to push back against coercive bullshit so that it doesn’t become entrenched.
