But what I don't understand is how you would use Calibre in conjunction with InDesign. As far as I know, you can't tweak the epub in Calibre.

Version 5.5 is reasonable, but not good enough. A lot of things still produces problems.
Sigil does not make any unnecessary changes. It might rearrange the files in folders, but that does make it more consistent and is according to the ePUB specification. It also is more consistent in using styles, but that can be switched off. It will ensure structurally valid ePUB's. Also, the validation is unsurpassed. It is better than ePubCheck.
I very much doubt you have more control in Dreamweaver or a text editor, especially with the PCRE S&R. However, to each its own.
