You can only do limited things with bookview. That was and will be the case. It has nothing to do with 'elitists' (somebody got a Calimero complex here...). Somethings can only be done with writing directly HTML and CSS.
Even with WYSIWYG HTML Editors that is the same story.

Do I scream murder that Visual Studio/Delphi/whatever still requires me to code stuff instead of letting me everything do with drag-and-drop and the menu? No, because that is part of creating a program. The same goes with creating an ePUB.

You can't expect that you can swim by just getting in the water, just because others can swim already.
