I was just re-arranging my widgets last night! I use the bookmarks, google now, email, calendar & spotify widgets.
I used to use the Weather widget, but switched that with spotify and a smaller clock widget.

Chrome. I've since just made a whole separate page for the bookmark widget (it's resizeable), and that seems even more visually helpful.

#16They are hidden in an hard to discover menu, as a rule of thumb, it means that the casual user won't ever use them.
There is a niche of users that can't live without them though.
