Calibre's a fine piece of software. Use it myself. Kovid's an amazing programmer that I have a ton respect for, and have learned a lot from. Neither I, nor Kevin, nor Sigil are in competition with him or calibre. I am not selling, advertising, promoting, or otherwise encouraging anyone to use Sigil. I don't really care what anybody chooses to use. Sigil is a hobby of mine. Nothing more.

Why not indeed? You certainly couldn't go wrong if you did. I recommend you do so, in fact.

And therein lies your mistake: I have no desire to "compete." I ultimately don't care what software you, or anyone else, uses to create/edit their epubs.
Use Sigil or don't. I don't care. it won't affect me or my hobby one bit. That's not anger. That's pure, unadulterated indifference to your opinion of our development decisions regarding Book View.
We have a small community of mostly satisfied users of Sigil here at Mobileread. I share my hobby with them and welcome their suggestions, criticisms and general input. Sometimes they influence my decisions; sometimes they don't. But I don't care in the least about Sigil users who don't give back by helping with user support, testing, documentation, code, and bug reports. Family first.
