Some users are productive in completely different ways, and it is not necessarily a case of a right or wrong way just different ways. Sometime back when I showed 1.3.3.something to some potential users, there was two things that got mentioned regularly. The first was that they preferred in line text editing, they wanted WYSIWYG (straight away), and felt the story editor when needed was an extra additional step. The second thing was an expectation to find text control icons on a tool bar either always present or when a text frame was active.
