First off, good job on 0.4.2, working nicely for me at the moment.

I am probably the odd man out here and I don't really consider myself a "power user", I am mainly using Sigil to clean up and produce the final ebook from my own digitization projects. It is the final step in a long process that uses several different programs and mostly used to set my OCD'ness at ease about the way the books are formatted.

I mainly work in Book view unless there is something I can't do in that view such as changing styles. It is really nice because it handles a bunch of the coding for me, for example, if I'm typing, I don't want to have to keep adding the same <p> code all the time, BV does that for me which is nice. It is one of the features of Sigil I really like. If there was a style editor then I'd probably spend even more time in BV.

There are things I might like but as long as Sigil keeps being the best tool at opening an epub file, letting me edit it and save it back out, it will continue to be in my toolbox.
