That old view was called "Book View". The developer mode is called "Code View".
Book View has been taken out, because it was very buggy... and it couldn't be salvaged any more.
If you want to get similar functionality to Book View, KevinH and Diap have created a different tool called PageEdit:
https://github.com/Sigil-Ebook/PageEdit/releases
What you want to do is:
1. Download the latest version of PageEdit from the link above.
2. Double click the download and it will extract a program called PageEdit.
3. Move that PageEdit folder to some location you'll remember. For Windows something Like:
Code:
C:/Programs/PageEdit
4. Open Sigil, and go to Edit > Preferences > General Settings. At the very bottom, you should see a box that says "Set your preferred alternative external xhtml editor".
Press the Browse button, and go find that folder you put PageEdit in:

5. Select PageEdit.exe, and then you can press OK button and get back to Sigil.
6. Now, at the very top of Sigil, you'll see a little button that looks like a X with a pencil on it:
Click image for larger version

That will open up PageEdit, and now you can use that similar to how to used Book View. When you are done, be sure to X out of PageEdit, and all your changes will get pushed back to Sigil.
And the last version of Sigil with BookView built in is Sigil-0.9.14 which is available on our GitHub Sigil Release page.
