I prefer SDI for applications like Sigil. Using MDI for a word processor would violate the Law of Least Astonishment, since Word, OpenOffice Writer, AbiWord etc. are all SDI.
I'm not very tech savvy, and was looking for the 'close' button, which is illustrated in the online FAQ and manual. I've spent the last few hours digging around the files and internet, unable to find anything that specifically pointed to the 'close' menu, and worrying that there was something wrong with my installation.

So I was very glad to find this forum, after digging through hundreds of Sigil posts, after being very glad to find Sigil. So far so good, and I'll just get over myself about the lack of 'close' on my File menu. Program works great otherwise!
