Never touch them. There are much faster - and much less buggy - ways to get the information offered by those widgets.
Since the OP wanted a poll, I'll give a hearty agreement to your post. If I didn't have a computer, some of them might be useful. But IMO, a computer makes widgets seem like something from the dark ages.
It'd be one thing if they were snappy, easily accessible and had accurate information. However, they are none of these things. I think it's a waste of resources to be honest. I may be wrong about this, but I think DirecTV did away with its widgets for those reasons. Or maybe they're considering it, I can't recall exactly.

I use the weather widget when I'm not logged into or computer or too lazy to grab my cell phone. All the other widgets appear to be a waste of time / resources.
