Well, the Recommend tab of the Manage Styles dialog box displays a lot of
styles, even if you choose to hide all but the recommended ones, which
contributes to making the task time-consuming.
What I meant to say was that if you keep the number of quick styles small,
the order between the styles in the gallery isn't a big problem. For
example, the built-in style sets do contain some styles, such as Subtle
Emphasis and Intense Emphasis, which I don't find useful.

In my case, if I want to promote, say, List Bullet and List Number to
where they're easily seen in the gallery, I have to go through this
process of changing the priority.

To add to what Pam has said, someone recently commented here that anyone
with a good understanding of how to use styles needn't bother with quick
styles and style sets. I would like to endorse that view since I am as
much at sea about QS and SS as you are. I think I sort of understand the
concept, but I can't envision ever needing to use the functionality
myself.
The concept isn't so difficult: quick styles are the styles displayed in
the
Styles group of the Home ribbon tab. If you change to a different style
set,
the styles of that set will replace the current ones in the Styles group
(and reformat text, if styles with the same names has been applied to
text).
One of the chief frustrations of quick styles is that, in order to
substitute user-defined styles for any of the quick styles that appear
at
the top of the gallery, one must work through resetting the priority
order
of the relevant styles, both built-in and user-defined, to promote the
latter.
It will be easier to *replace* existing quick styles than to add to them.
