I mean... they constantly are? Webworkers, webgl, web___, are constantly getting added. The DOM as a model of state is something web devs live with. Often without understanding it. I'm not sure I would count that as a feature.
That said, I don't mean this to be disdain. Having a somewhat targetable VM like environment to deploy applications to is a huge thing. That it has some fairly capable visualization capabilities built in is not a small thing.
That all said, I do think we are still far from how productive a small staff could be with some of the form builders of yesteryear. I'm also not entirely clear those left you with less legacy cruft than the equivalents today. :(
