The downfall, in this specific area, is in integration with tools and solutions already in place in javascript. Integrating Google Analytics, in particular, is proving to be incredibly difficult in BungeeConnect, whereas it is a simple copy/paste function in a more traditional web app (HTML, PHP, RoR, ASP.net, etc.) Other Javascript APIs, like that of OpenSocial, require generating a javascript wrapper, and then passing query parameters to an iFrame, instead of running the app in the client's DOM; a less than optimal solution that still requires developers to use, and know, javascript, as well as BungeeConnect.
