The Preview Pane serves the identical purpose, and what's more it stays live on the screen (you don't have to switch back and forth) and updates in almost the moment you make the change in code view. I don't use Book View at all any more, and I've always avoided using it to make editing changes such as you describe (ctrl-V resulting in a span).

But then I've been writing web pages for twenty years, so I'm comfortable looking at html.

Oops, sorry! Yes, I do use Book View to split the book into sections as my first step in building the epub. As R Bruce says, it's much easier there.
