I believe that is an unfortunate choice. From a user's point of view, neither command creates a file. They create a "section" and a "stylesheet", which are part of the content.

I do understand that they technically are files inside a ZIP. But by the same line of reasoning "Insert Chapter Break" technically is "split HTML file". If it were a programming environment, "File -> Split" would probably be appropriate, but Sigil is an EPUB editor, so the focus should be on the effect it has on the book: a new section is created, and not on technical operations that involves.

Either way, having it in the menu bar *at all* is much better than the way it is currently hidden in context menus.
