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.

For me the question becomes whether or not it is a waste of resources.

There's only so many donations to go around.

Calligra is blazingly fast by comparison to open office. I'm glad there's not just one alternative, and I don't think it's a waste of money.
