I would love to use a simpler program, however I use a combination: Sigil and InDesign 5.5. My employer creates 200+ page books with intricate styling, layouts, images, sidebars, chapter breaks etc. not to mention a lengthy TOC. So to take a book that was already made with the 'book' feature in InDesign and to use something else would be backwards. Not to mention PROOFING. Before I work in Sigil, I do a simplification of 'styles' in the InDesign doc. "strip" a lot of crap out. Then output it and work in Sigil from there... Hell, sometimes I even work in Oxygen/Author.
