I mean, hell, I could be completely wrong, but....I'm pretty sure that somewhere around here, if I looked hard enough, I could find an archived post from me saying "sometime within 2 years, we'll be looking for a new maintainer..." and here we are. (NO reflection whatsoever on User_none, who has gone above and beyond the call of duty; Sigil is an amazing product today, compared to what it was when he took over. AH-MAZING.)

I prefer to do a lot of things by hand. Sigil allows me to do that or helps me do that. If I do convert something to ePub via Calibre, I do take it into Sigil and see what sort of cleaning up needs to be done based on what I prefer. I'm on your side that Sigil (inside of Calibre) would need to not do any sort of conversion that changes the code.
