Robustness
The Sigil development blog site apparently allows no input from users. So how do they get feedback?
At that site they say a lot is going into the next version.
If any developer is looking I BEG you to put in LESS new stuff and debug the old stuff.
Three times I have worked for hours on a book (my own private ebook) and had Sigil just crash on me - trashing EVERYTHING I had done.
Come on! Are there no backup saves happening so Sigil can recover itself from a crash or at least have saves of the HTML? Why is that a huge no no? Its in there. SAVE IT!! That isn't hard to program you know. Just save it for crying out loud.
Why have hundreds of features if you lose the work you are attempting to do with those features?
To be useful, Sigil should be robust, not quirky like it is. Fix the font handling so the display doesn't show one thing five different ways, depending on some weird format applied to a small (or large) section without user approval.
You want donations? DEBUG IT! Don't want donations? Leave it flakey while you pile on lots of Hot/New.
