Yes indeed.  When it is done well it is outstanding.  gmail and
maps.google.com are two examples that leap to mind.  VersionOne is

What a pity that Konqueror's javascript support is too weak to support
them.  The google sites require mozilla (including firefox,
fortunately.  VersionOne is IE only--a real pity.  VersionOne lets you
do drag-n-drop inside the browser, which I've never seen before.
