I don't expect the UIs for different applications to be any more similar 
to each other in the Active than in the Desktop versions when it comes 
to actually editing/creating files, to be honest. The desktop Calligra 
applications have shown that the amount of UI that can be shared between 
different productivity applications is limited. KOffice 2 started out 
with very similar UIs between the applications, but it seems that they 
have diverged a lot since then, simply because optimizing each 
application for its particular purpose turned out to work better than 
keeping them similar for similarity's sake.
Yes, there are still many things that can be reused, but there are many 
things individual to each application, too, and I don't expect that to 
be different in the Active context.
