I mostly think it's an interesting concept that can allow many interesting user experiences.
At the same time, it is a major risk for browser compatibility. Despite many articles claiming otherwise, I think we mostly avoided repeating the "works only on IE6" situation with chrome. Google did kinda try at times, but most things didn't catch on. This I think has the potential to do some damage on that front.
