I try to see your point of view, but in my eyes, it seems to come down to this:
"If the EPUB editor is not a stand-alone program, then it can't do what I want."
Why is that? Why can a solution integrated into Calibre not do what you want?
I just don't understand.
Many parts of Calibre are seperate executables, such as "calibre-viewer.exe". After starting that, you can click "Open ebook", and you can open any book on your hard drive, without ever seeing Calibre itself.
In my view, the EPUB-editor could be called "calibre-editor.exe". You make a shortcut to doubleclick, and the editor pops up, with the option to open any EPUB, and having its own menu/buttons/interface, just like the viewer.
It will look and work like a stand-alone program, with functions comparable to Sigil as it is now (eventually), with the major difference that it has the entire Calibre infrastructure to support it in its functionality and future developent. Frankly, I think this advantage is so huge, that even if the editor would be a low priority part of Calibre, it would still be developed much faster than a seperate C++ Sigil version.
