Oh if only cut and paste was broken... In Windows and Linux copy and paste itself is broken. Sometimes you copy with mouse, sometimes you copy with keyboard, and if it is a recent version of MS Office likely neither will work. Sometimes you paste with Ctrl+v sometimes with Ctrl+shift+v, sometimes with mouse, sometimes it just won't work. Such a simple operation should have been completely owned by the OS.

It works very reasonable on Linux/X11 with two separate clipboards - one for Ctrl+C/V and one for selection / middle click paste.

Ctrl+Shift+C/V is only necessary for terminals that already have other historical pre-GUI conventions for the Ctrl+ combinations - and you can always use a terminal emulator that lets you use Ctrl+C/V with the GUI semantics.
