I would need the tools, too, but I don't think a merger of the tools would
be a good idea...
Hey, lets merge KSpread and KWord too, because I would like to render
complex text layouts and tables with formulae / spreadsheets.
And the one or other chart out of the data from the spreadsheet...

There is a reason the component architecture exists.

That the current components doesn't mix especially well (no pagination, no
affine transformation of parts, no transparency effects of embedded
objects) is a deficiency of the rendering model, not of the component
model.
