Yes. Yes I do.
Look at R studio. Wonderful IDE, runs as a safari app. Having a whole extra browser and a node backend running for each app seems a waste, but using the browser that is already running as a runtime environment seems much saner.
I do most of my work in the browser, I wouldn't mind if some of that had better integrated UI.
I also wouldn't mind writing small, easy to produce apps that will work across systems.

I'm not saying programs written in it aren't useful or doable, I just don't think it's a great approach. I think it's a last-resort approach, because there just isn't a better cross-platform toolkit available.
