Oh well.

No, they don't seem to understand that there is actually no such thing as a true WYSIWYW editor -- which is why EPUB3 (and EPUB2) require more work than simply automagically Save As EPUB3.

while Sigil can support the creation of an EPUB 3 file [...] that does not mean that it will actually create a good quality EPUB 3 file.
And Tallent is upset that Sigil has "no apparent concrete plans for development releases" whereas InDesign is "actively working on the EPUB export".

Haters gotta hate. I'll consider him a troll for now.
At least until someone shows me a post where he actually says what he thinks Sigil should be doing differently. Since he has so many good ideas and all...
