The Android widget system is tremendously useful.
It is an information gateway that gives me the up to date information I need almost instantly by just turning on and off the screen for a few seconds.
Every widget on my home screen has a purpose and a well suited one.
From simple tasks such as displaying date and time beautifully arranged, to allowing me to keep track of several services on (as well as themselves) my EC2 instances, upcoming calendar events, snippets of the latest incoming email and latest tweets.
Android is a wonderful tool and very very useful.
And, the best part; It allows you to customize your experience.
So my advice to you; If you feel it to be "cluttered", then simply remove all widgets from your screen.
