Problem:
xclip is not actively maintained compared to xsel, and it has a bug:
$ touch a
$ xsel -ib < a
$ xsel -ob
$ xclip -o -selection clipboard
Error: target STRING not available
Years ago, the situation was reversed.
We originally preferred xsel 46bd3c0f77
but then swapped to xclip 799d9c3215
to work around https://github.com/neovim/neovim/issues/7237#issuecomment-443440633
Solution:
Prefer xsel again.
