Please we contribute to the discussion. If you read my arguments, I know 
beyond liking or not liking that option.

Again, if you read my arguments, you would know that:

- I also strongly support the sidebar, however, it does not seem 
desirable to have "duplicate functions" for the styles in Writer 
documents.
Therefore, I am in favor of improving the panel "Styles and Formatting" 
and not additionally add a dropdown menu to apply styles in the 
properties panel. (Redundant also considering adding a menu of styles in 
version 5.1).

- I never mention use many toolbars, on the contrary I propose a single 
tool bar, similar to that used in google-docs. In that context a 
dropdown menu would be useful. The other tools appear depending on the 
context of use in the sidebar.

- The current functions of styles in the properties panel seem limited. 
If you use styles actively, always you end up using the panel "Styles 
and Formatting". Should continue developing, we have the same functions 
in two different sections of the sidebar (property panel and panel 
styles and formatting), which to me seems inconvenient.

@Pedro What do you think about that?
