Well, (almost) every feature in the list I posted is actually documented in the calibre user manual. Just not in a compare and contrast form with Sigil. Apart from laziness, I also dont much like the idea of writing feature comparisons like this for a few reasons:
1) They can easily get out of date as both the software involved evolves
2) I really dont mind if people use Sigil instead of the calibre editor, I just got annoyed by the assertion that the two are largely equivalent. To me, they very much are not.
3) I doubt very much I could be objective in such a comparison, since apart from natural bias, I also know the features and functionality of the editor in much greater detail than Sigil -- which I never used because of the crashing/data loss bugs that used to plague it. Before the calibre editor existed, I used to use vim to edit EPUB files.
