Yes, this new function is quite epic, and very feature rich even after such a short development time. At some point, this function will become the official spiritual successor to Sigil. (It can be started seperately from calibre, from the Start Menu, by the way.)

I actually offered to Kovid to help extend his "basic" editor after he was done with the initial implementation, but he is way too fast. What you're looking at now, is his idea of "basic". If we give him another month, he'll probably just clone the entire Eclipse IDE as well, and call it "nice to start out with"

Almost everything I would want to do (and would be able to do, with regard to my still limited knowledge of Python, QT and Calibre's internals) is either already done, or on the to-do list.

He could only be so fast if he wrote most of Calibre himself.

Ow... wait....
