In fact, I am running Leopard. It's not having an Intel processor that's the problem. Sigil is not alone in abandoning support for PPCs. Apple themselves now pretty much ignore them as well. So - it's not so much about 'progress' as such - it's more a form of prejudice like racism or sexism. Owning a PPC puts one very firmly on the wrong side of the tracks.

Having said that, this old G5 hums along very sweetly.

After 25 years on PCs I switched to Mac about 18 months ago. Exercising great self-restraint, I will refrain from giving you the usual "Mac-convert" quotes, but I will say that I weep now thinking of all those wasted years and all that unnecessary gnashing of teeth.
