Yes, although, I have already started building the shell that does the various tasks I spoke about earlier. It's already better than Sigil in one respect -- it has support for global undo/redo, so any operation you do can be undone, including file renames, global search and replace and so on. Not to mention that it works for both azw3 and epub2.
If no one volunteers to build the editor, I will probably just stick something very basic in myself and leave it at that. The new tool is a significant update to the existing Tweak Book feature in calibre, so it is worth doing from that perspective for me. The way it is shaping up, I may actually be persuaded to abandon vim for clean up tasks that dont involve lots of actual text editing. However, it is still early days, and with something this complex, there are no guarantees. I have been known to occasionally get bored and abandon a project part way through.
For people that want to check it out,
setup a calibre development environment and run it with
calibre-debug src/calibre/gui2/tweak_book/main.py some_file.epub
Right now it only has a file browser, this is very early stages.
