You mean Vellum that adds multiple unused classes in the text files? Vellum that supplies two stylesheets, one of which is stuffed with unused classes, the other of which is filled with a hodge-podge of media queries (and that is in the epub flavour of the file)? Vellum that can generate a page map that has out of order entries?
The best I can say for Vellum is that it is relatively easy to use and generates files that allow handling the oddities of Amazon's formats fairly decently.
As for voting in the poll, pdf and dejavu are probably the two worst. Cbr/cbz/cb7 are image based formats and I've seen several conversions that produced unreadable epubs. As for chm, I seem to remember it converted fairly well but I haven't seen one of them in years.
