The main reason I prefer to use Normal as my goto style is that 90% of the content created by OTHER PEOPLE is already using Normal so there is far less re-styling required when pasting in text from other sources.

If Microsoft's default templates used Body Text out of the box then Normal would never have gotten the dominant position that makes it so pervasive.
