Maps is what changed the game on JS to me. It was magic what they did. And then Gmail came and leveled it up again. I still remember a great Joel on Software article where Spolsky talks about "things that just aren't possible on the web" like red underlines for misspelled words. We get that now from the browser in text controls, but even if we didn't, it would be pretty trivial. Progress!
