I wonder if that tendency did not develop as a result of not having a 
proper "clipboard" for some time. Whatever the reason, this tendency has 
contributed to the survival of interface paradigms which thrive despite 
rejection by the majority - or merely plurality. Try one of these[1] and 
you might find you like it even more than the Win-Pov editor.
