Hmm… LC can now do things it couldn’t do before through the use of widgets. 
Isn’t the whole point of LCB and open language the ability to extend what LC 
can do in xTalk and with drag and drop objects?

One way to look at widgets and open language is to imagine you are RunRev and 
you want to make it easy for yourself to deliver new features so you design 
something that allows you to do that. So they will be able to deliver what you 
want faster regardless of whether others use LCB.
