I'm all for taking care of reasonable requests, but I must admit; I weary of the "please restructure your cross-platform application, so that it meets the philosophical (not functional) needs of a third-party redistributor of software for one of those platforms" sort of demands/lectures.
Things would obviously be different if Sigil was a Linux-only application, but it's not. It's intended to build/run reasonably well (and similarly) on three different platforms from the same codebase. Because of this, concessions must be made--by everyone.
I'll still consider respectful, reasonable (functionality-based) requests--and even philosophically-based requests that can be easily/quickly achieved with a minimum of code impact. But condescending "please change because this is how you should be doing things anyway" lectures aren't going to fly anymore. I won't be bullied. It's not my job to make their jobs effortless. They'll just have to settle for me being willing to make sure their job is possible.
