The first time I experienced such a feeling was when Visual Studio .NET came out. Compared to the previous version, Visual Studio 6, the dialogs and wizards in VS.NET gave me a "web-like" feeling. I guess it was one of the first attemps to use the web technologies to make a desktop app. Along with the Active Desktop feature, they were truly ahead of time.
However, that doesn't mean I loved them. VS.NET was slow as hell and I believe it was one of the reasons why VS6 lasted for so long.
