Widgets and you

Morning all.

Day after day I see tons of people with nothing on their Android homescreens, nothing, nadda, empty space.

One of Androids main distinguishing features is it's ability to give you information at a glance through these "widgets" and there are a huge selection to download and choose from.

As an example right now over 3 homescreens I have my gmail inbox, calender, clockr, tabr and google music as well as 4 folders with my most used apps.

What are your thoughts of widgets?

Do you use them, if so what are your best recommendations?

Why do you not use them?
