Let's not get into the Calibre Editor vs Sigil discussion please. That is not relevant IMHO.

Some valid points have been made I think. I will update my own plugin(s) to ensure that they work on Python 3.4. Doitsu has sent me a message with most of the work already (thanks!!!). I feel, but I could be wrong, that removing the BookView would be a big improvement codewise. The issue is that some people are still using it. What I distill, most usecases for BV are:
- copy/paste from websites e.d. with retaining layout
- entering breaks (will correctly close and open tags, very useful for multiple tags)
- easier finding which file is broken

Now, for option 1 I assume a plugin could be written where content can be pasted and inserted in either a new file or at the place of the cursor (can be tricky since cursor position is not retrievable in the plugin environment AFAK). Option 2 is useful, but could be done manually of course. It is more convenience I think. For option 3 it might be useful that if a (x)html file cannot be rendered due to errors, the filename is made red in the book browser. Is that feasible?

I think that would take away most reasons that people are using BookView.
