I see the browser becoming the OS period. I didn't realize this until I got a ChromeBook and realized (with crouton) I can do everything I normally do on my Linux notebook.

Do you normally just watch Youtube and use Google Docs on Linux? Because that's about where the set of things you can do on both ends
All I need is a browser and a terminal since my development environment consists only of tmux/vim via Crouton chroots and Plex Web/Youtube/Google Music for entertainment.
Why use Chrome OS at all if you're just gonna virtualize Linux?
No with crouton you can install Linux distros in a chroot, it's a few keystrokes to switch to guest wm in practice however.
