The way copy-n-paste works now on the Linux desktop is one of the worst features possible that users are exposed on Linux to on a regular basis. It's a chronically shit problem.
Hell if switching to Wayland means getting rid of the way X handles copy-n-paste buffers then that alone would be worth sacrificing X networking.

I disagree. I've been using Windows exclusively for a year now, and there are three things in particular that still drive me absolutely up the wall.
One of them is that I keep constantly trying to paste the primary selection before remembering that it doesn't exist. I don't think there's been a single day when I've not wished for that behaviour (there are programs that attempt to implement it, but it seems it's not really possible to to correctly).
(The other two are both related to window management; the design that has windows performing their own window management is, to put it politely, completely brain damaged.)
