would be good if...
it's a good plugin but I have to give up using it because it also loads jquery on the frontend of my site and I absolutely don't want it. Couldn't it be avoided? Also because I don't think it's necessary for the frontend

Excellent
So simple and powerful. Allows editors to quickly add custom styling to any text element using a user-friendly dropdown in Gutenberg, something which should really be in Gutenberg by default. Was having issues with it not styling on the admin side, so knocked a star off for that. One other thing I noticed was that it isn't discovered by WPCore Plugin Manager which I use to keep plugins synced across development environments. All my other active plugins are discovered, so maybe something needs tweaked to make this work. Apart from that it's totally amazing, thanks Ola! Feature request: would be nice to be able to add a style format to other elements apart from text. I find that sometimes editors want to style a group or other container element.

Exactly what I needed!
I agree with the previous reviewer...really a hidden gem! I had to search through many pages of search engine results before I found it. I had been delaying moving over 100% to the Block Editor on one of my sites because of the many custom formats I had created for the non-technical user. I'd used PHP and the Advanced TinyMCE plugin to add the formats to the editor, but they were only accessible via the Classic editor and Classic blocks. We've been slowly switching posts to the Block editor and converting Classic blocks. I was able to replace some of the custom formats with reusable Patterns. But inline formats posed a problem. I did not look forward to manually updating every instance or having to train the user how to add CSS classes via the HTML view. This plugin solves this problem for me, and I am very grateful! It is simple, easy to use, and just works. You've made my life a little bit easier. Thank you for making this available!

A Hidden Gem
This simple feature plugin allows me to set complex styling up for non-technical users to easily use. This is one of those plugins I consider a "hidden gem."
