This is ok from your point of view. We all have programs we like more than other programs.
The point is you made a statement that clearly indicates you do not know how the calibre editor is working and that you need to spend more then a quick shot for testing a program.
Same arguments you point out to calibre are valid for Sigil too. If you have no idea how Sigil works you will be lost too and build not only a house...
I use both programs and have spend a lot of time to learn how they are working and what need to do for setup a comfortable working habitat. Both tools are doing the job quite good if you know what you do. Moreover, both have different advantages.
I like for instance Sigil's reporting tools. However, I miss what Kovid is doing with the live CSS panel.
If I am working on big files, I do not like Sigil because I need to wait "hours" with no response from Sigil for opening a complex big EPUB. With calibre, the same file opens quickly and I can do my job while Sigil still tries to open the file with 100% workload.
On the other side of experiences, I have sometimes projects what are working better with Sigil for a first shot.
There are many arguments for and against both programs and this is why I take the chance to use both depending on what I am doing.
Any way, this is a Sigil thread and not an advertising thread for calibre. Maybe better to keep the topic again instead of doing fan boy things on both sides
