Better to work on the text elsewhere and bring it into Sigil at the end. That is where Sigil shines. Having to keep up all the overhead of an epub is time consuming and not really necessary until you are nearing the end anyway.

I think there is a big hole in the workflow for an html editor that is aimed at epubs instead of web pages. One that is relatively simple and does not add a lot of extraneous stuff and that will resave as html would be helpful for many, I believe. The word processors are too much. inDesign is way too much being designed for print media, though understandable if you are designing for print media and want ereader output too.

Using Sigil too early is like using the polishing cloth you use to put on the shiny finish on a car to get off road gunk.
