What I really don't like is that you can create an invalid (according to the specs) ePUB in the Calibre Editor and that the check-book function will not complain about it. The explanation from Kovid that if a non-compliance does not create an issue in the devices (as far as he knows), he is fine with it, does not cut it. If you want to publish an ePUB, most services require full compliance.
The biggest issue I have with Sigil is FlightCrew. That doesn't work all that well. It misses things it should not. When validating ePub, use epubcheck 3.0.1 as that catches more errors. EPUB-Checker is what I use as it is a GUI wrapped around epubcheck 3.0.1 and makes it a lot easier to see the errors. You still need to have Java installed.
