I was coming to a similar conclusion.

I love the styles and formatting. I use it everyday and I would like the 
default panel in the sidebar (direct formatting could go in the toolbar, 
along with its own panel).

My question is:
Why not add the style dropdown menu in the panel of styles and 
formatting?

proposal:
- The dropdown menu can be positioned at the top or bottom of styles and 
formatting panel.
- The drop-down menu will be sensitive categories (document styles, 
applied styles, custom styles, etc.)
- (based on mockups) In a single panel (stack view?) Are displayed, the 
paragraph and character styles.

In practice it would become very practical: a) at a glance would have 
available all paragraph and character styles. b) through the dropdown 
menu, based on categories would faster selection or specific styles.

Use Case:
An advanced user to create specific styles for a document beforehand, 
creating a template or a particular document. All paragraph and 
character styles are available at a glance, easy to customize or create 
styles for your document. Begin to write your document, you will have a 
quick way to apply styles via the dropdown menu. As the user created 
their styles of early, can Select the category "Custom Styles" and only 
see the styles created for that document. At the same time, the user 
have the other visible styles should create new or modify them.

This approach maintains differentiated the properties panel (direct 
formatting) and panel styles and formatting.
