I have very bad experiences with GUI tools. They are useful, but not for critical parts of the workflow.
I'd really be interested in how Sigil and Calibre are supposed to be locking me in. I've been using them both for ages, jumping between the two and Notepad++ to boot, and I feel free as a bird. I can't remember anything ever breaking, just improving. (Not commenting on your workflow, mind, of course you should do what works best for you. I just wonder where that idea of being locked in is coming from. Apple, E-book stores etc. - they try to lock people in (though not extremely successfully so far...))
