sometimes one widget for entering data is good for this and another would be great for something else.
i would love to see a module that would make it possible to offer the end-user multiple widgets while adding / editing an entity. So he could switch / select the widget that fits best for his actual needs
my personal needs are for taxonomy and entity references... but i think it would make sense for many other fieldtypes too...
