I see a lot of people talking about "forcing" themselves to work a certain way, with primes, with zooms... I'd say, it really doesn't matter one bit as long as you use what makes you comfortable. You shouldn't have to force anything.
Personally, I dislike changing lenses, but what I dislike even more is using zooms, except when they are UWA (and there isn't much choice for that). I've always been happy with a 10-20 in that range.
When it comes to normal range zooms, your usual 24-70 etc...I've always simply felt awkward using them. They are often big and honking, except for the kit zooms, but even more than that, I have to think of an extra component when I manipulate my camera to take a photo, not just the composition and focus and my placement, but also turning that zoom ring. It's a personal thing, I feel a lot better when I don't have that in the equation, and I feel that in that range, that whole range of focals isn't often needed. But again it's very personal, psychological even, and I won't force myself to do anything, and just go for what I like to do.
And I'm mostly a wide angle to normal shooter. For a much longer range I'd probably want nothing else than a zoom.
