There are very few useful widgets. There are no useful widgets which do not have an application equivalent (you know, the things the widget code was stolen from in the first place).
You could easily say the same about the GUI... there are no useful GUI tools that do not have a CLI equivalent. Konqueror? You can use ls, rm, mv, cp, and lynx (for the web browser component). I will agree that a large number of available widgets are not so useful... some I look at and wonder.. what was the guy who made this widget thinking? I said the exact same about many Superkaramba themes though. Some you shake your head in wonder, and others are VERY useful. Take the Cynapsis theme for SuperKaramba... I have yet to find one as useful (for me) in the pile of available widgets. A few desktop widgets I like/use... yaWP (for weather) and Server Status (for monitoring several webservers). Another I'm toying with is Fancy Tasks which gives you an OSX-like Kicker/task manager. The KGet widget is quite useful/handy as is the KTorrent one... the Pastebin widget is handy if you're using PasteBin a lot... Point being... widgets do a similar job as other tools we've used in the past.. just like SuperKaramba did (and still does) and even the GUI vs the CLI. Sometimes it's better, sometimes not so much (most of us still drop to the CLI to do file management from time to time right?)
