Calibre has 3+ million active users, anyone want to hazard a guess at Sigil's active user count - I doubt it would be 10% of that, probably closer to 1%.

At some stage one has to draw lines in the sand. There's not only the SSE2 and Qt compatibility issues, continued support for defunct operating systems can get in the way of embracing the features offered by current and future operating systems.
