--- Comment #8 from Heiko Tietze <heiko.tietze at documentfoundation.org> ---
We discussed the topic in the design meeting.

It's recommended to use PS sparingly - and both the Stylist with filter Applied
Styles as well the dropdown in the standard toolbar should show most if not all
of the used styles. We also provide alternatives such as an Automatic filter
that tries to smartly filter PS.

As a more general note, trees are complex UI elements and discouraged for use
(better combine a dropdown with a list). If we make the simple style picker in
the toolbar an overly complex tree with all hierarchy it is rather detrimental
to usability.

For insights we added the Styles Inspector and recently the Spotlight feature.
That might not reduce your frustration but is hopefully a tool for the average
user to efficiently deal with PS.
