I have Sigil, and am relatively new to it. But I hadn't really been thinking of it as primarily a general editing application because it's not really a general text manipulator that can open lots of file types. Though it does well with ePub and (x)HTML intended for books. And has both character mode and regex mode search/replace.
I was interested more in terms of recommending applications/tools to new users of calibre that they might find useful. Already had Sigil high on that list. Thanks for the reminder, made me think about its regex capability.
(I read somewhere around here that some writers actually use Sigil to write their books.)
