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.

[1] Yes, I know that calling R "program for calculations" is radical 
oversimplification.
