I'm excited about people finally taking the leap and ditching HTML/CSS for web applications. It's ridiculous that we have to hack around a model that was designed for documents in order to write the kinds of interactive applications people expect today.
Take the browser and cut the cruft of HTML and CSS: what you're left with is a cross-platform JavaScript runtime with high quality graphics, audio, and networking libraries with a built in database. There's no reason such an environment couldn't compete with "native" applications.
Once WebGL and the audio APIs are supported on mobile devices with two or more cores things are going to get very fun.
