Glad this is an option now at least in Writer.
One thing I have noticed with the CASE effects approach to this is that the
actual case of the text does not change permanently.  Only how it is formated
changes.  This is not necessarily a bad thing but users might want to make
changes permanent.  If you copy and paste the text to another program - such as
notepad - you get your same old ugly unstylized uncapitalized text back.  I've
also run into situations where I need to convert the case from UPPER to lower
case before the style applied takes full effect.  I think this would be better
addressed in the change case format menu rather than the Character formatting
box just because it's easier to reach - but it has its use in both places.  I
like having the changes in the Character Format box too because Case can now be
controlled by styles - its just doesn't translate to a new Application when you
copy and paste text.  Keeping it where it is allows Styles to format the Case
exactly how you want it automatically.  
That all being said it would also be nice to give this same functionality to
Impress, Calc, etc.
