We keep coming back to Kent's main distinction: that documentation, while important, is main a reference for more experienced users. Newcomers don't want to read, they want to experiment. In this context, good UI design is that which make such experimentation pleasant and successful.

Cut/copy/paste works uniformly everywhere, afaik. As a kind of Easter egg, it's possible to copy/cut an outline, and then paste the (xml) into body text or the log pane. If you know of a place where cut/copy/paste don't work as expected, please let me know. However, copying multi-line text into a headline or minibuffer is (on purpose) not supported.
