With widget framework 2.5 and below this approach caused confusion/difficulty in situations where multiple widgets where added in the same row or under tabs. Is it possible to have multiple widgets on the same row or under tabs and if so, how is the order defined?
Not at this time so the current approach should be fairly easy to work with.

Looking at the update thread again, I see myself making a lot of title case bug reports again. Brace yourselves, guys. There's an Amaury storm coming. 
Although, to be fair, a lot of that may change in the final release. From looking at old threads over my years here, I note XenForo 1 kind of started out the same, having some things sentence case that were title case by the time it was officially released, like the sub-navigation bar items.
On to feedback, I certainly like how the date and time stamp as well the as the post number are on top of posts in XenForo 2.

Indeed. I was referring to that and to the block on forum home. It lists reddit, pinterest, etc like AddThis has and XF did not have before.
I see there is a moderator drop down. This is new. What does this do?
Don't make them yet
Some of the changes may be intentional, but ultimately phrases are pretty much the last thing to be applied so we'll deal with such issues at that time.
Yeah these are just basically links which activate the share dialog for each service without the overhead and inconsistent styling of loading their default buttons. They didn't use AddThis before, and certainly don't know
Nothing too exciting. It's a menu that contains links to the Report Center and Moderation Queue so they can always be accessed regardless of whether you have outstanding items or not. If there are outstanding items, we display the link outside of the menu, with the item count and more prominently.

But yeah, I meant after it's been released at least as a beta here on XenForo.
I wouldn't even make the reports even on BETA cause things can still change. I would wait till a final stable release.

Do you (XF team) aim to make the widget system at least as robust as BD Widget system so that addon developers have an equally robust platform to develop on?
The reason I ask is that its highly unlikely that any developer will create a widget system for XF2 so we will need to use the stock widget system to reach feature parity to migrate our sites and addon developers be able to port their addon widgets over.

Frankly you're unlikely to ever see feature parity in a brand new XF feature when compared with a matured already existing add-on that has been worked on over the course of nearly five years. It's just unrealistic.
It's also sometimes difficult to separate what is truly crucial functionality compared with features which are more of a nice to have. I'd personally put front end positioning of widgets in that latter category. That said, posting suggestions (as you have done) is useful to help us ascertain that.

I like the position of the "Post Reply" and "More Options" buttons and especially the "Attach Files" button, much easier to spot on a wide screen.
I assume that is a settings icon on the far right of the reply box, what is all under there, is it just the "Remove Formatting" and "Use BB Code Editor" options?

If nothing else, a config flag to disable 4-byte UTF8 escaping would allow users to opt-in with some configuration without requiring code edits.

What would be the layout of the grid on forum home?
Would the widgets be right or left sidebar configurable?
Would it possible to position the forums in the sidebar?
