Sigil isn't now, and never WAS, intended to run like that. Even when Valloric first introduced it, it was never supposed to be a replacement for Word or OO or whatever-your-flavor-is. I suspect it never will be. What are we at now, in terms of lines of code? AT 7, it was what, a million lines? Do we really think that the guys will add the other 5 million lines of code that are needed to make it actually work LIKE a Word processor?
I don't understand why "preview" isn't good enough. I don't care about taking the option away from you, as long as the rest of us (who don't use it) don't have to reply to all the questions caused thereby. And, to be clear, that we aren't expected to support further enhancements in that (the word-processing/WYSIWYG) area, over productivity enhancements.

problem i find with preview is getting it to the right size and it seems a bit crash prone when dragging it around.
Book mode is pretty awesome, you know you can select a load of stuff on a webpage and copy and paste it into bookview. It probably makes quite a good tool for producing webpages too, a lot less buggy than kompozer on linux if not quite so easy to use in someways.
I guess that i'd love to see sigil localise or cache links well images specifically. it'd be easier than manually downloading each image and then changing the links to ..\Images\picture1.jpg (guess thats just being lazy really).
