Calibre can be used to create new e-books from scratch since sigil development is taken over by the developers of calibre and it already has been integrated. You do might have to use the newer versions of calibre of course.
It works pretty good, automatic arranging of content into directories, development tools (syntax highlighting, validation checks, etc.) and on the fly preview, though be carefull with the preview. The renderer can handle more CSS then most readers. Bold text might for example be shown as 'bold' in the preview, but not on the actual reader.
