Plus there is a LOT you can do with Xwidget you cant with Rainmeter, like it cant browse websites, adjustable size widgets, or stream video with it, among some.
But to be fair, i used it for 3 years, it has available tons of Manuals, instructions and help guides that makes it more accessible, therefore, appealing to the beginner.
One thing i miss from it was the ability to create separate skins and then "include" one to the other via scripting call "@Include1: xx/xx/xx/Contents.ini", that was a way of simplifying your work a lot cause you didn't have to deal with a thousand lines of code, think of it like separating layers in different files, one file contains the Backgorund and some buttons, other file contains the modules & charts,etc , then you simply call the "Contents" file/layers from the "Background" file. It sounds like isn't necessary, but when your are approaching the widgets as an entirely paralel interface, alternative to the traditional Windows OS, things tend to rapidly evolve into chaos lol, you could nest files inside files all you wanted, i really liked that, was a very organized approach.
Anyways, after a week with Xwidget i already did 3 impossible things to do whit Rainmeter .. i browsed the internet with a widget, i created an adjustable size widget with modules inside that can be move around by simply click & drag!! that's AMAZING!
If Xwidget V2 solves some htmlcore bugs the possibilities are:
