It is, but with luck version 1.0 will arrive at the end of the year and then there is the whole adoption rate.

Now given that WegGL support is still hit and miss, and the only way to debug is to rely on native GPGPU debuggers, and having the pleasure to differentiate between browser own rendering code and the one from the application, that shows how easy it is to do 3D on the Web.
