Those saying widgets don't allow flexibility are wrong. If you are unable to use widgets, it's either because it would have no purpose or it is because of poor code. It is easily possible to have n sidebars, and to be able to "widgetize" them all.

For a clear definition, visit this page.
Ok champ, setup a widgetized side bar using sIFR without hacking the widget code. Oh, what's that? It isn't flexible enough? Noooo, you don't say!

Here is an easier one... set the widgets to use images for their titles (without individual classes)... What? Can't do that either? Oh my!

Include the blogroll via widgets, but instead call it "My Online Friends" What? You can't simply change the title? My, what a bummer, and here you said it was soooo flexible... ,


The one thing about TF is you can always count on people who don't have a clue to spout off (as if they actually know something) on things they know nothing about - it's called Dunning-Kruger syndrome.
