The lack of heavy duty applications like Adobe's Creative Cloud is the only thing keeping me from buying a Chromebook. There are a few paint programs, but nothing comes close to being able to replace Photoshop. Same goes for After Effects, Illustrator, InDesign.....
Chromebooks aren't powerful enough to run creative software. Most only have an Atom Processor and 2GB of RAM. The whole point is making low-spec, low-cost laptops to run Web-based applications. They're really tablets in a laptop case.
Chromebooks have a flawed premise and aren't going to take off. However, as mobile operating systems converge/merge with their PC counterparts, Google could beef up Android to compete directly with Windows and OS X.

People ran Photoshop on 486 based computers with less than an eighth of a gig of RAM. Sure, it wasn't the latest version, but it would be good enough for most people today.

Try doing content aware fill on 6 layers on a 21 megapixel image on a 486 with 8MB of RAM.

No it wouldn't.
Such a computer has less computing power than my smartphone. And such a computer is barely powerful enough to render modern web pages at reasonable speed. That old computer could run Photoshop when photos, even in raw form, were less than a megabyte in size.
