Sure: What Open Layers is not? What Open Layers doesn't do? -- It is not a generic widget component library. So you have to use ExtJS/GWT/jQueryUI... -- It doest't read files on your system. So you have to create some kind of reflector to upload a file to your server and then serve it to your web app if you need it. In fact with HTML5 that's not true anymore as a colleague showcased[1] --It can't do XML requests outside your domain, yo need a web proxy (like proxy.cgi). That's not exactly correct but most of the time is true As I said the slides are more than 2 years old so you maybe will find other facts more interesting to share.
