Some of the animation/effect type stuff I've seen is mindblowing; and then I've seen some really cleverly designed ecommerce systems where a lot of stuff normally done via server side pages (php, asp, etc) is done on the client side, which allows for cool stuff like comparing product prices, features, etc, all without having to wait when they click "next" on each item, confirm their shopping "trolley", proceed to "checkout", etc.
