I used my 18-55mm lens for years, but tend to use my 18-105mm lens for most stuff now.
I have a 14-44mm lens, 47-96mm lens and a 19-70mm lense. I don't ever use the latter as it's just too big on the shortest end. I find myself having to take few steps back where with the most former, I distance is not an issue. The lens starting at 47 is a rather more specialist tool that I would only use in the event of wanting to take photos from a distant fixed vantage point.
Given the 19mm lens is covered by the two other more comfortably sized lenses, I just just that for when I go on holiday as it's far more practical to cart about and I won't be in the situations where I need to be quick with taking pictures. The lack of the MOIS feature also makes the mid-sized range a rather cumbersome lens, but it has added practicality when I'm not after transport or close-up pictures.
