I’ve been using quick apply pretty much as long as it’s existed in ID. It’s great when you’re applying the same style repeatedly. The problem with it, in my opinion, comes when you’re applying lots of different styles to an imported document. Since you can’t select non-contiguous chunks of text, I don’t feel like you save any annoyance or time when you have to type something into the quick apply dialog (even if it’s just 1 or 2 characters) every time you want to quickly apply.
I’m happy that 2020 allows more shortcuts, though.
Even with both of those options, it’s often necessary to use the style panels and dropdowns, and when it’s a complicated document with tons of styles it can be hard to spot the ones you want.
