I'm curious as to what format you're trying to underline. Calibre is very good at reading epub, azw3, etc. These are ebook formats. I repeat, ebook formats. They're meant to be read-only. The ability to make changes to such books, including underlining, is not a basic feature.
Word processors are based on read-write formats, designed specifically to be changed. Big difference.
If you're complaining that Calibre doesn't allow underlining in epub, azw3, etc. then I would argue that you've just gotten spoiled by a program that includes non-standard features.
If you're complaining that Calibre doesn't handle word processor or other formats well, your argument is equivalent to complaining that it's too hard to read text files in a hex editor. Wrong tool for the job. If you want to make changes to word processor files, use a word processor.
Of course, you can have the best of both worlds. If you want to use Calibre's library management features but prefer to edit in a separate program, simply uncheck the format from the list of file types Calibre reads natively. I do that with PDF, cbz, and txt files, for instance, because there are much better viewers/editors out there for these file types. If your operating system is set up to load those files in your favorite editing app, you can do all the editing you want.
