The big one is I thought 'visual code' and visual GUI building tools would continue to advance and play a lot bigger role in the future. I also thought we'd see new paradigms in GUI and desktop design take over, probably involving 3D. Everything related to how the internet has developed has been both awe inspiring and deeply disappointing.

The Microsoft Bob, full-virtual-environment sort of 3D is not popular but modern UI's are generally hardware accelerated and use lightweight 3D effects to enhance UX, whereas this was very uncommon in the 1990's.
