If you don't want to learn HTML and CSS, Sigil is not for you. You can still compile Epubs, but you need to do it in another way. E.g. prepare your book in Word, and then convert it to Epub in Calibre. You may or may not be happy with the outcome.

For the rest, the question you are asking is pretty useless. If you followed the discussions on the Sigil forum a bit you'll know that the problem with Sigil is that there are no developers who would pick up our enhancement requests.
The reason why I opened this thread is, my company might start a project to develop an EPUB Maker software, as we think Sigil is not easy to use. And there are more and more indie authors at the mean time.

Yes many eBook retailers accept .doc file, but most of us can't make our book beautiful with .doc.

So I want to collect some ideas for an ideal EPUB maker software.
