At Professional level it can be used for:

 

* games - they are huge and cannot be ignored. Web based real-time-graphics non-flash games have been hacks until now because they were limited to sprites. Being able to develop pixel-based games for multi-platform has very big potential.

 

+ visualizations - as Allen mentioned graphs have been neglected, then implemented with flash and more recently typed with using svg or just some HTML/CSS. They can really rock with canvas because developers can do anything they want in the most absolute way possible.

 

+ emulators/simulators - these can now be fully implemented in JS, both core and visual.

 

+ remote controlling a computer (vnc, gotomeeting, etc) - canvas let's you create a webbased viewer for these with some reliance on a wn-based data transport.

+ more rapid font innovation - custom font rendering can be fully web based now.

 

+ image editors - these can now be100% web based.
