Calibre works as a starting point for non-epubs but I really don't like some of what Calibre does during the conversion. On the other hand, my conversions tend to look very boring. Consistent chapter numbering, paragraph style, line and paragraph spacing, all large images given SVG wrappers, etc.

Totally agree, but in the latest versions of sigil 0.7.3 and 0.7.4 the right click, copy and paste menu doesn't work anymore.
Not even after totally uninstall previous versions and manually deleting registry.
I think I am busy with tuning Calibre for over one year and now I am so far that if gives a reasonable result together with the special kobo modification plugin.
My problem is to keep it balanced between my Kobo and my girlfriends Sony, when I tweak it more then the result is fine on the Kobo, but terrible on the Sony.
But it is a total personal taste, I don't like text idents, or justify.
For the patch you can do the same with total commander because the epub is just a plain zip.
click on it,delete the css or replace by an universal hand made one, save, ready.
The presence of the patch doesn't matter to me, for some people it can be handy and therefore I am happy with it.
But I don't use it, and since I have already have to edit the epub for the Sony,I take my own preferences with it.
A patch where you can manually set items in to ignore in a .css file would be better,but then I still have to edit the epub for Sony that ignores the !important tag completely.
