If by non-technical users you mean people who have never learned that you can cut and paste on computers, then yes maybe. Slightly more technical users, who know that they can select text and then type or paste to replace it, are annoyed by this "feature." It prevents someone from copying text, selecting a large body of text that must be replaced, and then pasting the new text in. In X what you get instead is selecting something that you want to replace, which puts it in the copy buffer. Middle clicking appears to do nothing except unselect because you are replacing the selected text with itself.
