 After some great discussion in #37974 and at the recommendation of
 @folletto, I wanted to create a ticket to help foster the discussion and
 improvement of widgets in WordPress. As @folletto said:

 > Widgets are powerful. Widgets are also massively under-utilized in
 WordPress. We should totally work to make widgets easier to use, interact
 (drag'n'drop?).

 Here are some critical questions to help guide this:

 * How can widgets become more extendable within WordPress?
 * How can widgets become easier to use for users?
 * How can widgets be easier to work with for themers?

 Let's figure out what the next version of Widgets looks like.
