Would it be beneficial to Calibre to rationalise such duplication?
Apart from Polish and Modify EPUB, two other 'overlaps' come to mind - Generate Cover and Open With, I dropped both optional plugins in favour of the built in features when they were released. The built in GC is more convenient, and the built in OW functionality is a better fit to my needs.

I occasionally use Polish to subset fonts, and I use Modify routinely to: remove covers, add a jacket to the back of the book, and remove embedded non-DC metadata elements. It doesn't bother me that I sometimes use both, I suppose I could wrap them in an Action Chain script; but all that would mean is that instead of pressing P and Alt+M, I'd sometimes be able to just press Shift+Alt+M.
