Sigil 0.9.11 and .12 were completely pulled because of serious issues. And 0.9.13/14 suffered a bit from performance issues because of the use of the revived QtWebKit project that we ultimately abandoned for QtWebEngine.
I'd personally go with Sigil 0.9.10 if I was looking for the last truly solid version before the change to QtWebEngine.

I use Sigil as a reader as well as an editor (I collect magazine articles and documents - collect and organize information). So to answer this post, I loaded the same article on to two different laptops; one with Linux with 0.9.9 Sigil and the other with Windows with 0.9.14 Sigil and the fonts rendered much better in 0.9.14 Sigil. So it's not a question of usability but of readability and Windows does that better. That's why I would prefer a "wine-like" solution to the problem.
