Agreed. I am completely okay with the separate clipboards. Allows stuff like cc or dd followed by pasting in from the system clipboard (different text) without having to go re-copy something because you just overwrote it. I used spacemacs for a while and I absolutely hated the clipboard syncing.

Well, vim has an absurdly large number of registers. You could just do ex.

  "add"+p
(that is, "delete this line into register a, then paste from +")
