Hi, Christoph, all. I agree with what you said, except the following, and
I want to point out some examples.

1. We could have just one more button in that window, called 'New
Style'. It would have a small drop down, with just two options: 'New
Style', and 'New Style Based on Selected', which would create,
respectively, a completely new style or a new one based on the one which
is highlighted.
We already have a little drop-down that might help here ... but I don't
mind if we add a more self-descriptive button.
Still the point is - why do people need to add more styles? I think the
number of styles is quite sufficient, but maybe the defaults are
unwanted ... don't know.
When writing an interview script I create styles that are named after each
of the characters in it in different colors.
When writing a play script I want to have styles named "location",
"time-of-day", "dialog", etc. with different alignments and indentations.
When creating an personal calendar I use styles named "personal",
"meeting", "high priority", "work", "done", with different colors, font
weight, or even bullets (e. g., using a check mark for "done").
When writing an interview questionnaire I want styles like "question" and
"answer", where each are in a different color or font attributes and
"question" is set to have "Next Paragraph: answer".
Those are all real examples I use or have used, except the second one.
