I still have a lot to learn, but I've found that calibre often introduces multiple css entries in the style sheet for paragraphs that are identically formatted, which I consider garbage. I always clean up my style sheets to consolidate such duplications in a single style definition. It sometimes takes a while, but I like my style sheets clean and simple. Will check whether pretty print is on
calibre has a bad reputation for ebook editing, based on the css flattening it does when converting.

You may be happy to learn, that the editor component is not the converter -- it shows you exactly what was in the book you opened, and changes nothing whatsoever. Even Sigil will automatically sort filetypes into Text, Images, Audio, etc. folders -- calibre has a tool you must manually run to do that.
