It's just me or is really weird that Emacs doesn't have something like the whole-line-or-region package built in?
How does this package compare to leoliu/easy-kill which I now see u/purcell also contributed to?

However, if you find it handy, which you probably do, that is just a sign that you really need structure editing, but out of habit use lines. Besides paredit, thing-at-point is another thing to look at. It already has built-in regexes to give you a sentence, paragraph, email, sexp, and other stuff in a more structured manner than copying lines and then editing them (line too :)). There is a library, thing-edit that I once contributed too that does a lot of that stuff. I don't use it myself, haven't been using it for a few years now, but you may like it.
