Comment (by azaozz):

 Looking at the UI again, the Post Formats selection area is more or less a
 postbox at a special place. It is one of many "content management"
 features that are shown in postboxes.

 However it is the biggest/heaviest "thing" on the screen, it is at the
 top, and the icon representing it is repeated three times. All that makes
 it the most important thing ever :) I know we want it to be easy to
 discover but maybe we overdid it a bit?

 Another thing that may be missing is a title. All postboxes are clearly
 labelled so a user would never have to guess what they are for. For users
 that are not familiar with post formats (most users?) and have a theme
 that doesn't do anything special with post formats (currently most
 themes?) it would be pretty hard to discover what is this all about.
