I don't have any widgets on my KDE desktop, but I have two panels containing everything I need - launchers with quite small icons, systray, weather report, network, CPU and RAM monitors. Even online radio station player is there. Don't know about GNOME 3, but 2.x can also have everything in panels. Comparing all that to iOS is just silly.
As for the topic, software compositing is there just to ensure that GNOME 3 will be usable regardless of hardware it runs on. Currently compositing is a requirement for GNOME Shell to run at all.
