Now, as epub3 features come more to the fore, it will have to be phased out, but at the rate that epub3 readers are becoming available, I don't think Sigil is quite in its final death throes just yet.

This is to take nothing away from the rapidly developing Calibre Editor, I'm just saying Sigil is still a *very* viable option for epub2.

I don't think we need to erect a tombstone in the next 5 minutes...
True. Even if it's not updated I imagine it will be archived somewhere online for quite a while yet. And who knows sometime down the line maybe someone will download it, and then decide to do a massive upgrade to bring it up to specs for what will be the epub of that future time. Anything is possible given enough time.
