Comment (by hugobaeta):

 Replying to [comment:16 azaozz]:
 > The alignment buttons are actually toggles, first click applies the
 class/style, second click removes it. They are pretty convenient for
 aligning images (1 click vs. 3 clicks to open the modal, select alignment
 and close). On the other hand having the "block formats" drop-down in the
 top toolbar as well as the undo/redo buttons makes sense too.

 You are absolutely right. My comment above is wrong! I'm sorry. For some
 reason I was playing with this the other day and was sure the left align
 was just a reset, but no, it does apply a damn style property in the <p>
 tag.

 Until I started this ticked and talked to a few people, I had absolutely
 no idea you could align images with the text alignment buttons. It just
 never crossed my mind. I'm curious as to how many people actually used
 them for that effect. But image alignment could be simplified (and
 clearer) if the overlay that shows up when you click an image in the
 editor displayed some quick actions, like alignment. Maybe that would be a
 good iteration?
