Well, if a very expensive XML-oriented editor is what floats your boat over an application specifically designed to manipulate an EPUB container, sure thing.
The important thing is that you are using whatever makes you productive.

Sigil automatically adds a metadata tag referring to itself as the/a tool which edited the ebook.
It also enforces a standard directory structure for the internal resources, and validates the XHTML to ensure it can be properly parsed -- automatically fixing things if necessary according to standard HTML5 rules for resolving invalid code.
calibre does none of this automatically, although most of that is available as optional tools (you will have to edit the metadata yourself).
The changes aren't tremendously evasive, and in fact the Mend Code functionality has improved a lot since the days of HTML Tidy.
Some like it, some don't.
Sigil, by design, does more handholding than calibre,
