Wow.  Obviously still needs more development effort to smooth out some
of the rough edges, but Wow.  With a little polish and a little more
performance, they've got just about everything to write a regular
graphical interface like a local app would have, or at least very near
it.

Now we just need someone with more brains than sense to write
something like Catalyst::View::DojoTk, and we can go back to thinking
like application developers instead of browser hackers :)
