Believe it or not you can write an entire webpage in Notepad if you know your tags. Same with an ePUB. But using a text editor with syntax highlighting (Notepad++ comes to mind) would help tremendously.
Common sense tells me that working with XHTML code instead of converting is a much better option. Conversion software, while it usually works ok, it tends to have various problems from time to time, problems which sometimes you won't even spot while proof-reading them. For instance if the code is all messed up from the conversion process but it looks "ok" on your end (and on your device), it may NOT look ok for someone else. But if the code is properly formatted and syntax correct, it has a much better shot of looking the same.
