I believe they are called TeX (for word processing) and R (for calculations[1]). But there is a reason they never get substantial mainstream market share. Most users simply do not care if software is bloated and slow as long as it gets work done. Only professionals are ever interested in investing time into adjustments that will benefit them in longer run.
