I would disagree. calibre and it's ebook-editor are a good choice for editing existing ePubs. It is not a tool for creating an ePub from scratch. The authors I work with use a word processor to create their books (Word or LOWriter and applying styles are a popular choice) but typing into what amounts to a code editor is not a popular choice. I suspect that Kovid Goyal would be quite happy to admit this as are the maintainers of Sigil, another ePub editor.

If you wanted to create your manuscript in Word or LOWriter with appropriate styles, you could get much advice on the use of styles to make it easy to create an ePub that will need minimal touchup after a calibre docx to epub conversion to be publication ready.
