I respect your opinion, but if we follow this line of thinking, than the Styles
Preview (from the Tabbed UI) should not have been implemented in the first
place. The fact that we also have this functionality in the sidebar is not a
reason to not improve the Styles Preview in the Tabbed UI.

My argument is that the current implementation is very limited and I honestly
don't know what use case it serves for. The current Styles Preview is not good
for discovering and applying styles, so this is why I resort to the sidebar to
apply styles.

The Styles sidebar is really good and I believe we should also have a good
implementation of the Styles Preview for Tabbed UI users. Since we already have
this widget in the Tabbed UI, we should seek to improve it and offer a complete
experience. Otherwise I can hardly see myself using it.
