I'm sorry but I can't drink the kool aid on that one, because it sounds like your implying that other software implementations by other developers before Google didn't "design" their software - which would be a complete fallacy. Don't get me wrong, the multiple processing is fantastic, faster javascript is great, along with all the other toys that Google have in their browser. However, all this means is Google does it better than anyone else hands down and that it's going to do fantastic things to further the web. It will push other developers to be better, kind of like how iphone pushed other phone manufacturers to be better... but in both cases that is more or less an advantage of being late to market. Anyway, the point is that I think you might have swallowed the hype a little bit too much in believing that Google is the first generation of browsers that was "designed" for web apps because it was designed to run them better than the many generations before it. That would be like saying Chuck Yeager was the first man to do powered flight because he broke the sound barrier first. The Wright brothers would not be amused.
