I agree that Sigil is a great editor in a pure form.
But I absolutely disagree that no plugins are needed.
In fact, if I couldn't use the plugins, I could probably uninstall Sigil.
Plugins are a key element of Sigil.
It is impossible to implement functions from plugins into the program itself, because sometimes plugins do the same thing completely different and it would only be a waste of time resources of Sigil developers.
The relatively easy entry threshold to write your own plugin can encourage you to prepare an individual solution to your problems without bothering programmers.
The plugins ensure that Sigil can gain new functions and this makes the entire application more open and flexible to users' ideas.
Sigil remains as the "core editor", but plugins still give birth to new, interesting "branches". And that's just beautiful.
