I've used it to clean up ePubs and to make fixes. What's nice (to a geek) is that it supports regular expressions, so you can fix things like line-breaks after a comma, or lines ending on 'Dr. / Mr. / Mrs.' with ease.

It's basic and you won't make a pretty ePub unless you know CSS style sheets. I recommend it in conjunction with calibre.

Note I use an iPad and the iBooks application, not e-readers in general, so I can't say how usable the output is in general.

Heh. The one thing I can't stand about Calibre is that when it makes epubs, it uses its own span styles, making processing further in Sigil an exercise in frustration. ("OK, which one is italics--span style calibre4 or calibre5 or calibre4 calibre5?")
