I, personally, am uncomfortable promoting Sigil as a WYSIWYG editor when I can't, in good conscience, recommend that anyone actually use the WYSIWYG interface for editing. I get tired of providing support that basically consists of, "don't do that in Book View." It's not a real answer (even though it's the ONLY one I can give).

I can sympathize with this completely.
The majority of what we do in Book View mode is cutting and pasting of paragraphs. We know better than to cut and paste sections with mixed tags such as div and span sections. Since most of our material is in simple paragraphs this means we can edit for hours without an issue coming up. We know which sections have mix tags and switch to Code View for those edits. Sure, every once in a while we screw up and end up with mangled tags that must be fixed.
Here is an idea - How about reducing Book View functionality so that it can only edit paragraphs and other areas that do not cause a problem? In other words have a Book View with reduced but less buggy functionality. For other types of editing you would simply switch to Code View.
In this case we could still use Book View for the things that it does well and it would simply not have the problematic functionality available. We wont be losing anything because we avoid the problematic functionality now anyway.
Just an idea.
