OK, I'll bite. I started using widgets because I got tired of typing
lots of commands on the command line. I wrote my own image processing
widget since no existing program satisfied my needs. Now when I want
to try a new algorithm, I write a .pro file for the main processing
and add a couple of lines to the main widget to assign the processing
to a menu. It has made algorithm development fast and easy.

On the other hand, I am reluctant to try IDL 5.beta because of all the
reports of broken widgets. Do _any_ widgets developed with IDL 4 work
under 5.0?
