Also, running a command line through a GUI terminal emulator lets
you take advantage of cut/copy/paste between windows, which is a
feature not available on a pure-command-line system.

 
You can technically emulate that with screen or a similar
multiplexer.

I'm sure you can set something up with xclip if you really need that.

So does running GUI apps.

If you’re running a GUI, you might as well use full-function GUI cut/copy/
paste, which is more general than anything provided within a character-
based multiplexer, anyway.
