Can you expound a little on (or point me to a discussion of) the problems? I don't use Sigil, so I'm not up to speed on the issues.
If it makes a difference, and in case I wasn't clear, I would neither want nor need any ability to edit the layout/HTML. I'm thinking strictly in terms of text editing, and very small chunks of text at that.
That said, I'd be very wary of any sort of batch search/edit/replace functionality. If I find (as happened last night) a spot where the text had "of" instead of "off", I'd just want to add the missing "f" without risking changing every "of" to "off"!
