There is PageEdit, which is now the "spiritual successor" to Book View.
Just takes
a few extra steps to install it and set it as your External XHTML Editor.

Agreed, those are all things I enjoy(ed) about Book View.
KevinH did a great job making sure most of Book View's functionality got ported over + in many ways, he made it even better (as BetterRed listed).

Calibre's Editor is better in some things (Multi-Lingual Spellchecking, checking dead external links), worse in others (TOC generation, Metadata editing, [...]).
I still much prefer using Sigil as my main tool, but I use both when needed.
And like Diap mentioned in other topics:
You could stick with Sigil 0.9.14 if you really can't live without Book View. That was the last version before Book View was removed.
(Personally, I'm sticking to that version too, because I have an enormous months-long ebook I've been working on... but I'll upgrade to Sigil 1.1+... maybe... eventually. Some of those bug-fixes/enhancements/speedups are too juicy to pass up!
