She’s such a well-written and wonderfully acted holier-than-thou character and villain that you could believe Stephen King wrote every line of her dialogue.
Every time I watch season 2 I hope, somehow, that Vedic Bareil will get elected Kai. It was a last minute flip-flop in the writer’s room anyway:
Although the writing staff of Star Trek: Deep Space Nine had spent almost the entirety of the show’s second season planning to make Bareil the new kai, electing Winn to that position was a last-minute decision. “We were all sitting in the room,” recalled Robert Hewitt Wolfe, “and it occurred to us, ‘God, we could […] make Winn the kai. That’s a scary idea!’”

I do too, she was a great villain to the point that I can’t help but to root against her. And I love that the writers knew they wouldn’t want to live in the world they were creating.
God … she’s so good I felt like throwing my phone against the wall. Everyone should have a Kai Winn in their lives, to make you momentarily miserable and allow you to appreciate the rest of your life
