Yep. I do love my widgets. I'm using ADW Launcher EX which gives a maximum of seven homescreens and I'm using all seven. I'm not using all my widgets right now, since I'm nit currently using Launcher Pro I don't have access to those widgets, but I am currently using all the other widgets I listed.

And I forgot a widget, so I'll add the Facebook widget to the list.

I'm using a rooted Droid Incredible running Cyanogenmod 7 nightly 96. You would think that all those widgets would slow my phone down to a glacial crawl, but it really doesn't. Seven home screens full of widgets and ADW EX and CM7 are both running as fast as ever.
