I am planning on tweaking the user profiles on my Discourse and of course noticing profile, including the summary page, are still handlebars templates. Are there plans to rewrite these using the `virtual-dom` library (a.k.a. making profiles widgets)?

No plans at the current time. The widgets are much harder to write and so there needs to be a need for a huge speed improvement to implement them.
