I like widgets for their conciseness. Coupled with ftl, I can even do ajax with widgets. Is there
something I'm missing, like some new-age UI concept?
While I don't mind widgets becoming more flexible (assuming they're backward-compatible), even to
rival ftl, I don't see myself using them in more fancy ways than how I'm using them now. They let
me put fields neatly in aligned grids.
I wouldn't pit widgets against ftl. I'd leave them to specialize in their own
ends of the spectrum.

The funny thing about the widgets is, they make complex tasks simple,
and at the same time they make simple tasks complex. In my opinion,
the widgets get a C in doing 90% of what I need efficiently.
So, what sort of thing are you looking for to meet your particular needs?
