As has been said, it is hardly a desktop, it is a browser OS. I see this a lot with Google, they never release desktop apps only mobile and web. It would be really nice to see an OS and desktop applications for Google All Music Access, I would like to cache some music on my desktop for offline listening.
You say that but I don't even see IDE's running on it? They just wanted people to develop for Chrome Browser, their focus isn't on making an actual OS by the looks of it.

Chromium OS is a free Linux desktop OS from Google.

Chromium OS is their desktop OS.
You can run native code, apps can be written in JavaScript. There are APIs for basically everything.
This is their desktop OS.
You're not missing any features. Perhaps you're missing "the killer apps" b/c they haven't been written yet.

There are many cloud IDEs. The Chrome Inspector is slowly turning into an IDE.
Google has their own IDE project based on HTML/JS.
I'm sure with some tweaks you could probably run Atom, too
