Comment (by westonruter):

 Perhaps the biggest thing that bugs me about `WP_Widget` is that one
 instance of this object does not correspond to one instance in the
 database, as in you always have to pass in the `$args` and `$instance`
 with each call because it doesn't know which database instance is being
 referred to otherwise (well, aside from the `WP_Widget::_set( $number )`
 method which sets `WP_Widget::$number`, but these are only used in the
 underlying plumbing and not in the actual API that developers work with.
