I know one:
R-studio.
It has taken the R IDE market by storm.
Are there other examples?
I guess the 'ship a webkit browser' method is starting to work.
Not a bad idea at all. Take for example scroll. Browsers do smooth scroll by default. Most desktop apps, including even office don't.
I can't stand non-smooth scroll.
There are other advantages, such as having the web version, mobile, and desktop versions sharing a code base.
What do you think?
