If someone just really has to have [widgets] then they can jailbreak and tweak it up.
Not everyone has the luxury of jailbreaking. E.g., maintaining compliance with enterprise security policies for access to corporate email, etc.

Should have been this way by now. You don't go through 7 VERSIONS without changing the homescreen. And I don't mean the icons.

Can't get any messier and more inconsistent than it already is. Can't believe I had to google to figure out how to delete a contact...
This looks needlessly complicated. Not sure what this would add to the user experience.
Just to let everyone know, me and @rv1raj are planning to work together with the designer of this concept to bring it to jailbroken devices. We've contacted him, and it's all systems go. Development is planned to begin in the latter half of August, and we're aiming to have compatibility with iOS 7 and 8.
Firstly, widgets are simply wrong for the home screen. Period. That's not where they belong. There is a place for custom/optional widgets: the lock screen. Or a special widget screen/app.
Secondly, I'm concerned because Apple has a habit of not making things fully configurable. I absolutely cannot stand that the notification center gesture cannot be disabled, not even in apps, not even if you've literally configured it such that it can never have any info in it.
So you may say I simply shouldn't turn any widgets on, but I worry that choice won't be available. There's going to be a stupid widget panel or apps that support widget mode will always show their widget data, and I'll just be stuck with it. Because that's how Apple keeps their UI consistent and thus simpler; they minimize configurability.
No good for the one-handed users.
No, please no.
No.

Myself personally I'm not interested in widgets, but it would be great to have it as an option for those who do.
I fail to see many areas where a widget is needed and I think if Apple was to allow them then 3rd parties would use them for the sake of using them despite them not being any real benefit.
Don't push notifications basically do the same job as widgets?
Ungodly numbers of clicks to the damn home button is what's needlessly complicated. This looks pretty damn slick and would save me tons of time.
Weird, that workflow demo'd is almost verbatim of what I do throughout the day. Weather, stocks, messages.
Launch. Close. Launch. Close. Launch. Close.
