I remember that one. I'm not (yet) proposing to have different delegates per 
different type (I'd need a good use-case + great ui design to consider that).

Well, everyone has either a list, or a icon grid, so it is an implicit 
agreement on the delegates. If someone doesn't like a default delegate (for 
example Lancelot which will need the no-click ones), a custom one can be 
provided.

What I think we need (not only for this) are more advanced and versatile 
components. From my pov, our current situation of providing only bare ones is 
the reason for the lack of number of custom-made plasmoids.

As an example, if somebody wanted to create a plasmoid that lists all the 
bookmarks tagged with the current activity, it would not be that easy. IMO, 
this should be achievable in 3 lines. (something that I'm planning to have 
with the new shelf)
