It's mostly the layering that bothers me. I don't mind Chrome OS and love my chromebook. Some of this is aesthetic so I don't really expect to change minds, but if we lived in the world of "Life and Death of Javascript" and booted to some kind of Web OS I'd be annoyed at the loss of low level hackibility and get over it. Booting to Linux, then booting a browser to get to a normal app that doesn't need network connectivity "feels" wrong.
