As a KDE fan, I don't use any of these "redundant" programs, unless there is a true benefit.
The thing is that, LibreOffice works and looks great in Plasma, and Calligra doesn't do anything special.
It's even more obvious for me with KTorrent. We already have qBitTorrent!
I absolutely like things like Neochat, tho, because in this case the "official" alternative is an annoying Electron app.
Yeah but I don't think competition is bad.
Maybe they'll make it even better than the alternatives.
Of course, I don't think there is anything inherently wrong about Calligra. It's just that, so far... I see no point for using it.
There is also OnlyOffice, which has been more palatable for the people I shared it with (mostly students that were graduating and losing access to free MS Word)
You can make LibreOffice look more like Microsoft Office, it's in the settings. No need for OnlyOffice for that.
How to Make LibreOffice Look Like Microsoft Office
What's the guide on how to split the executables up into separate processes, so when a spreadsheet window crashes, all other windows don't go down as well?
Man, you must have better luck than me because Libreoffice is utter dogshit at sending a print job correctly IME. Several different machines and printers and I can't get a proper print out of LO.
Never had trouble with that. A quick look online seems to tell that it's an issue even for Microsoft Word.
Have you tried exporting to PDF first?
My solution has been saving in Nextcloud and using the Collabra Suite that I have set up there. It's not much for editing, but it never seems to fail to print as it says it will.
