I thought the "widgets" thing was a way for others to integrate into the shell. Whether other companies will or not is another question.
As for comparisons to TFL3D, for me it comes down to my frequent usage. In TFL3D you have to swipe to get each individual pane that performs a separate distinct function (i.e. Weather pane, contact pane, connectivity). Also, the frequent contacts means you have to swipe through your list to get to the one you want. Whereas Mobile Shell 2.1.5 or 3.0 gives you quick contact picking on one screen, and all my main functionality on one screen. If I want weather I don't have to swipe 4 times to get to the screen. If I want mail I don't have to swipe twice. I guess it depends on how many options are on the scrolling bar at the bottom of TFL3D. If they are all on the screen then it is only one touch for each screen. I like how SPB tried to minimize the amount of navigation.
Though for each there is a learning curve. I used TFL3D exclusively for about 1 month and have been using Mobile Shell 2.1 for about 3 months. I think Mobile Shell 3.0 will be the new standard at least for me.
