The calibre ebook-editor and Sigil are the best tools I've used for editing an existing ePub but neither is intended to be a WYSIWYG editor and tend to require a level of knowledge of CSS and HTML that most authors do not have and are not interested in learning.
Vellum is a heck no! Stay away from it. calibre is a good choice. I cannot say what else would work well enough.

I do think Authors should learn HTML/CSS. The last WYSIWYG editor I used was Book Designer back when I had a Sony Reader.
