Not really. I personally like to test my epubs in readers and these plugins help me do that while still inside Sigil where I can easily change things. So I was really scratching my own itch.
That said, I am personally disappointed in the code quality of these e-readers. All of them have had bad bugs that should have been stamped out long ago. I am beginning to think that devs who generally do only javascript development are just not well trained in computer science, lack engineering understanding of interface design, etc. That or the language itself is just too unstructured, with too many poor quality external libraries and crap all loaded via npm and minimized and scrambled that makes debugging it too hard.
Hopefully, I have fixed or worked around most of the worst of them.
At some point, I will have to stop digging into things like this if they take up too much time from Sigil, but being retired now frees things up a bit and puzzle solving===bug fixing for me and it has always been fun and keeps my brain occupied.
And current Sigil master seems to be in good shape right now!
Take care,
KevinH
