Comment (by akibjorklund):

 I wrote [http://akibjorklund.com/2015/editor-buttons-simplified a blog
 post] today about this issue, without knowing there was this ticket. In
 short, I proposed practically everything that was mentioned in this post.

 Short background story: I've been doing content management for 15 years
 now. Most of that time I was designing CMSs for major media companies in
 Finland, but 5 years ago I started my own agency and switched to
 WordPress. These WordPress customizations are pretty much what I have been
 doing for clients that have a lot of content and that have a priority of
 creating content that is reusable decades from now.

 I realize the needs of a lonely blogger are different from a corporate
 with millions of articles, but I do not think at least making formatselect
 visible by default and simplifying the first row by moving stuff to the
 second would do any harm to most of the users. On the contrary, it would
 make the interface a bit more simple and thus help everybody.
