Nor I, I have never used the epub toolchains.

Certainly try Asciidoctor, it is in active development, which this
implementation isn't.  Asciidoctor tends to make less use of the
tollchains, I don't think it uses them for anything but PDF but it is
developing its own for that too, although its still in Alpha.

And its way faster :)
