The Hanselminutes Podcast has an interesting interview with Paul Betts where they talk about Atom Shell which is based off the interface the Atom Text Editor uses. It's Node.js and Chromium based and cross platform so it's an interesting pick for those of us who need to develop a desktop app.

I haven't actually tried the program but it's on my long list of technologies to try out. :-)
