They're a much smaller application to run than a huge, and buggy, web browser. But when pasting into something like a word processor, it's advantageous to learn how to use its own styling editor, rather than using it like a glorified electric typewriter. Once you've defined its default body text format, it's very easy to clear any other styling, and/or apply your own preferred style to slabs of text. It becomes a one- or two-click operation to normalise a document, rather than attacking pieces of it all over the place. And much less of a nuisance than copying and pasting, twice, through something else in the middle. I do wish OpenOffice/LibreOffice had an easy copy and paste of style/formatting option, though. So you could simply re-apply a style from another paragraph, for those occasions when it'd be quicker to work that way.
