FWIW, I agree with eschwartz here. So called WYSIWYG editing of xhtml inside a WebEngine or Webkit widget (or any browser) is very limited in scope and is dangerous when highlighting seemingly contiguous pieces of text to modify when in fact that text is not contiguous and contains numerous tags or worse partial tags.
Sigil views BookView as a necessary evil to allow easy proof reading with immediate single word or short phrase text changes possible (and possibly a good vehicle for pasting new text blocks that need xml escaping) and not as a substitute for a WYSIWYG word processing program.
If writing a book from scratch, I would start with LibreOffice/OpenOffice or Word and use an importer plugin (or a docx converter like Calibre) to generate the main epub and begin fine tuning from there.
If your input is already html or an epub and you need to make significant text changes, BV would not be the best choice.
My 2 cents...
