I'd say that's mostly because Dashboard is hidden away on its own screen, which makes it kind of pointless. When you turn on the magic hidden switch that lets you use the widgets directly on your desktop, it becomes a bit more useful. (But only a bit, because the widgets then float above everything else on the desktop, so they can get in the way a bit.)
