I have yet to see a single argument for Dashboard (minus the guy with the security camera widget) that can't be as or more easily done with a combination of Spotlight (calculations, conversions, currency), Notification Centre (world clock, calculator, calendar, weather) and putting iStats in the menu bar.

As long as Spotlight doesn't have a dedicated gesture, it's not as good. Now I need to move the pointer to that tiny icon and click it. Dashboard is a simple four-finger swipe left.
 
Dictionary
Currency Converter
Unit Converter (as a European expat in the US this is invaluable)
Calculator
Cmd-space
6 World Clocks (LA, Amsterdam, Nairobi, Jakarta, Taipei, Paramaribo)
2 Weather (LA and Amsterdam, but these already stopped working)
Calendar
Swipe left from right edge
And a bunch of Sticky Notes
This sucks, but I guess cmd-space s-t will do the trick.

No you don't. Cmd-space.

Looks like a Mojave feature, then. Good to know some of the workflow can be carried over. I’ll still miss having the currency converter there at a glance, though.

Calculator

I use Spotlight for these. I prefer currency and unit conversion in Spotlight because you can type it all out without having to mouse and click as much as you do in Dashboard.

For Dictionary you type the word.
For currency type: 10 usd to euro
For conversion type: 10 meter to feet
And Calculator you type the math you want: 9*6
