I don't know if you are the only one, but you are probably one of the only ones on this forum.

I'm not sure what you mean by better, because they are two completely different apps with two completely different purposes. One is a library cataloging program and one is a book reading program. Once allows you to easily transfer your library of books to your device, and one allows you to read them once you get there.

If you don't care about the "library" aspect and only keep a few books at a time on your device, then Moon+Reader is a great book reader with a minimal library function.

If you have a large library of books that you want to keep nicely organized, the Calibre Companion will do that better then any program I have ever used. Frankly, at this point it works better than Calibre for navigating your library (although Calibre is much better for editing your library).

I would hate to see them merged into one program because each would suffer in its chosen area of functionality in order to add the functionality that the other one already has.

In any case, I am not sure why you think its "easier". Once you tell CC to open Moon+Reader to read the books, the whole thing becomes pretty transparent.

And I am really not sure what you mean by "conflicting". Which functionality of which program do you feel is getting in the way?
