Many of the find/replace commands need to be modified for specific texts (replacing page headers, etc) so they still need to be editable.
And it might be useful to be able to preview the results before confirming each change (sort of before/after on the left/right, or an easy undo) though if you needed to do a hundred of these you probably wouldn't do more than a few before confirming the rest. This is probably doable in the current Sigil - though at the moment its difficult to tell as the cursor jumps around the book/code view a bit confusingly - something I think that'll be fixed for the next version. Of course I haven't used Sigil extensively yet and only for some light cleanup so I still have a bit to learn about how to use it best.

I admit, I've always had a secret lust for a product that was a combination of NoteTab Pro and Sigil. To me, that would be the ultimate. NTP has a mind-blowing library of "clips" (macros and scripts) that are amazing, and you can, of course write your own. I (
heart) me some NoteTab, as we say around here. ;-)
