I think that they will be popular as a deployment model for applications that use the SharePoint.Client namespace with javascript and Silverlight. I can certainly hide the ribbon with javascript on the client – but I shouldn’t have to. I remain concerned that there is no good answer to #2 with regards to client side code.

So, a requirement popped up to allow the business to store “Contact Us” information in SharePoint and use workflows to manually send emails to the people who submitted the contact information. Very easy.. nothing spectacular. They also wanted the ability to send pre-formatted email templates as responses. Also fairly easy to do creating an SPD workflow for each template, right?
