I'd like to set this up as a post where all known JavaScript client development platforms could be listed by company/organization/ecosystem.
* anything that is HTML/JavaScript-based.

Microsoft
Windows Gadgets*
HTA - HTML Applications*

Adobe
Adobe AIR* Can be done with only HTML/JS but can also can use Flex/Flash
Adobe Director
Adobe PDF

Yahoo
Konfabulator

Google
Google Desktop Gadgets - SDK link on the left

Mozilla/Firefox
Greasemonkey
XUL Runner

Appcelerator Titanium

What did I miss? Should I also list JScript.NET, managed JScript, Rhino?

note: I've set this up as a community wiki.

In this context the Universal Widget API might be interesting - it's designed to be a framework to write widgets for different platforms (desktop or online):

Widgets written with the UWA work on iGoogle, Windows Vista, Apple Dashboard, Live.com, iPhone, and Opera.

You can use JavaScript, Python, or Ruby for desktop apps. I believe that mobile apps are JavaScript (no Python or Ruby).

How about Ext Js!

Can you do full on client dev with this? I thought it was just a JavaScript library?

It's a full client-side JavaScript framework actually. Check it out http://extjs.com/ .

Ext JS is a JavaScript library and Ext GWT is a Java library aimed at Google's GWT. To my knowledge, Ext JS depends on being hosted in a browser or a browser-like environment. If it can be used in some other way, please point to something more illuminative than the project's homepage.

Yep. Ext JS is a Cross-Browser Rich Internet Application Framework (JS Library) Perhaps I misunderstood the question. If you're building a "Web" based client UI (ajax, windows look and feel) it's pretty awesome in my experience. ... You could always host the site locally in IIS on the client =).
