Comment (by celloexpressions):

 The transition is to make it look and feel better; in this case the PF UI
 uses lots of transitions so not having the transition here makes format
 switching kind of jarring, especially considering switching from, for
 example, standard to quote where size, font-style, color and background
 color all change. I would advocate for putting more transitions in the
 theme itself, but I think those design decisions were already made. The
 short reasoning is that the brain doesn't like sudden changes, there's
 always some sort of a transitioning movement in the physical space, for
 instance.

 I think it works well with just the colors and typography; those are the
 primary things that people will want to add their own styles to in the
 editor (ie, adding italics to one part only to find that the whole quote
 is in italics, or changing a font color to red only to find a red-orange
 background color on the front end).

 The decorative iconography of the status format is entirely unnecessary
 here, although we probably should maintain the smaller width. I would say
 that the quote icon is fairly important because it helps visually guide
 the user through the UI, although mimicking the changes in #24332 would
 probably change that, so it may not work to do that. I guess my primary
 goal with the editor styles would be to make previewing the post for
 formatting concerns unnecessary, but we're getting pretty close anyway.
 Also, if using :before does work (as it appears to), this would be a good
 opportunity to show theme devs that you really can do amazing editor
 styles that complement the PF UI. But I understand the concerns of the
 potential for it to break.
