I use it as an informational UI, that is just one key away.
I think, it could be improved, to be more useful though.
This is, what I use it for:
-weather info in several international cities of interest
-time display in all time zones of customers and businesspartners
-scientific calculator (RPN, as my 1989 HP calculator, I used since university)
-calendar widget, that shows date, day, weeknumber (why is this not properly featured in ical.app ???)
-Systran translation widget, to instantly translate even difficult text for instant information into my language (Chinese, Japanese, Korean, ...)
-currency exchange rate widget (updates into EUR do not work since a few weeks - widget dumped)
-stop watch widget, to time procedures, I don't have a stop watch for
These widgets, I use on a daily basis and could do hardly without.
Other widgets, I tested mostly resemble a gaming or trivial pursuit and do seem not very productive to me (rather stealing time, than freeing up).
I really would like, to use the feature, to move a widget from the dashboard to the desktop more. The issue with the implementation like it is now is that widgets are floating and obstructing the view of all items on the desk.
Moving the widget to the desktop and fixing it there would be better (the calendar widget and chronometer widget very much!).
