You do not need to install PageEdit at all. It was removed as WYSIWYG editing by neophytes often generated very broken xhtml. That is why more advanced users rarely used the BookView at all as editing in CodeView and seeing the result in real time in Preview allows for more correct code to be generated.

As for Preview, you can resize it at will and attach it to either side of the CodeView window at since it is a dock widget or make it float. You can also easily hide it. I regularly use it with CodeView on my 15" MacBook Pro with no issues.

The older BookView code was ported to QtWebEngine and split out into PageEdit. PageEdit is meant to be used for simple visual editing and proofing. The latest versions of both Sigil and PageEdit allow users to proof and read epubs more easily by using an External Xhtml Editor preference setting in Sigil including editing all xhtml files in spine order. See the New Features Video in the latest release.

Of course, you can always stay with the older WebKit version of Sigil with BookView as it is quite recent and still very usable.

Either way, if you have come here just to complain instead of getting help, you are too late to the party. The decision has long been made and will not be changed.
