Well, it all depends on what you mean by "forms-based applications". Prior to the web, the term meant something pretty specific - applications built "VB-style" to run within a windowed, event-driven environment (even if that "windowed environment" was in DOS!) It has more to do with the development metaphors of windowing and events than anything else. All of the examples you provided could easily be developed within those metaphors. Now of course, on the Web, "forms" has a much more limited meaning.
