Do you have any idea how fragile Sigil's Code View/Book View duality is?
Even the Sigil developers consider keeping that around to be a daring proposition, they have suggested once or twice that they would dearly love to drop support for it (but don't quite dare, since Sigil users really want that feature and it isn't yet worth ripping out that working code just to simplify further development).
And most people simply do not draft their ebook in an EPUB editor -- they use a word processor and convert that (DOCX/ODT) to EPUB. The biggest value in an EPUB editor is manipulating the code and that is what he wants to focus on.

What is your initial format? Do your books begin life as EPUB, or do you convert from something?
