Actually I want more than a simple text editor. I have until now used Notepad++, and are very happy with it since I can do whatever I want and know that nothing tries to "fix" code that I have written and are content about.

But Sigil have some nice features that notepad++ does not have:
-auto generation of .ncx- and .opf-files
-Options for symantics, so I do not need to search the internet every time I try to make the two mentioned files
-Automatic splitting of files
-Validation by pressing a button
-Cross-platform(!)
-Spell-check with configurable wordlists that can be copied to the next location when you re-install your OS
-And more options very suited for generation of epubs.

Unfortunately, it is also useless because it destroys my code, even when I have turned off everything I can turn off
-Any meta-tags in the header is deleted automatically (this is very annoying and a major headache)
-Blank line between paragraphs are added against my wish
-id's are added where I do not want any (I want to keep my code readable and searchable without needing to worry about id's in tags)
and some other minor pains in the you-know-what
