Is it simply because of lack of spare time to finish the details,

I understand that most of real-life applications of GEF orbit
arround UML modelinf problems and therefore most frequently are
some kind of UML editors. Indeed in such scenarios the need to copy
and paste a class would be scarse.
But there are domains, for instance editing a geometry, when the ability
to quickly build aggregations of identical parts by multiplying a base
template
part is essential.
Any ideas?

Hi,
I completely agree with you, these basic actions should have support
provided by the framework. However, you can make use of the clipboard to
cut, copy, paste items as a i recently did. Please let me know if you
would need any specific help.

Thank you for offering help Siddharth. I already implemented these
myself, I just don't get it how come functionality so basic is missing.
