Actually, I have used the two together, using the custom_widget
attribute of form fields.  It's not necessarily a good fit, though,
especially from Python code, since CustomWidgetFactory requires that
you specify the concrete widget factory (it can't simply modify
whatever gets looked up without real help).  <browser:widget> does
support that case.
