That said, I had not played with the Calibre editor much in a while and it has really improved. Kovid really did a nice job with it.

You can decide whether or not calibre's editor updates the book's internal metadata with calibre's metadata before opening a file. I don't recall what the default behavior is. If all you want to do is manually edit a few things, calibre's book-edit will actually do a better job of not "messing with anything" than sigil will. It doesn't force the archive into meeting a particular structural requirement and will happily let you open/edit/save malformed markup.
I think Kovid's done an amazing job in a short amount of time. Doesn't change the fact that I still turn to Sigil first. Maybe that'll change someday. I'm certainly open to book-edit winning me over.
