There where webapps being built before gmail. We did Ajax-like things in 1999-2000. But gmail was possibly the first slick implementation.

I remember how impressed I was when Google Maps was released. Instead of having to click on arrows to reload the page with a new map, you could just drag and it would automatically load new map tiles!

Google Earth (the native application) is really old and abandoned by now, but its still better than the new "web" version that only works in Chrome.
