An Alternative for Calmly Writer
I would look at emacs with some plugins installed to get the setup you want. A quick search led me to this: https://github.com/joostkremers/writeroom-mode

I am thinking about getting back into writing and using org mode for it.
Doom emacs already comes with writeroom-mode for distraction-free writing with doom-specific improvements in the :ui zen module.

Writers, what are your favorite underrated packages?
I really enjoy using writeroom-mode for distraction-free writing in Emacs. I have it bound to a key in org-mode, even.

Writers, what are your favorite underrated packages?
Great question. Here is a life saver if you write or collaborate with non Emacs users: visual-fill-column. Now please: read the documentation and give it a chance before closing the browser tab. It is not what you think it is, it is not redundant.
What are some alternatives?

olivetti - Emacs minor mode to automatically balance window margins
