I would liked to be able to switch back and forth between the largest Code View window possible to an equally large Preview window either by icon or tab.
Code View is the central application widget. As such it cannot be hidden, docked or relocated or tabbed with another widget. It is the center of the Sigil universe.

But Preview is certainly floatable/dockable/stackable/tab-able. It's a dock widget that is similar in every way to the Book View, ToC, Validation Results, and Clips dock widgets. Stack it, tab it, float it, and move it around. But it won't be combined with the central widget (Code View), because the central widget is not (can't be) a docking widget.

I have Preview tabbed with other dockwidgets all the time. Note the highlighted tabs (and their names) in the lower right area of the Sigil Window:

Now if you're talking about Preview being able to be tabbed with the rest of the epub's resource tabs in the central widget (Code View), then that's just not possible. You may not think you're asking for Book View to brought back, but if that's the functionality you desire, then that's exactly what you're asking for without realizing it. Can't/won't be done.
