Guess that's just a personal style thing.  I spend most of my time (when 
I'm not solidly typing) with one hand on the mouse, the other on the 
keyboard, and since ctrl+x/v/c is all with the left hand, I find it 
pretty easy.  Maybe a Dvorak keyboard would screw that up a bit :-)

Agreed.  Actually it becomes couterproductive at that point, because you 
have to go to the target app, select, delete, go to the source app, 
select, go back to the target app, then click middle mouse.  Instead of 
just source app, select, ctrl+c, target app, ctrl+v.

Basically I think it has more to do with being poisoned by WinSlows for 
the better part of the 90's than anything else tho ;-)
