Kind of embarrassing for Adobe, Google releases a program that is as good as what they have been able to come up with. And Google isn't even a design software company.

^ I wouldn't say its better. The interface is poor and its v.laggy for some reason considering its all simple shit - not video or something.

I think for small stuff, with little transition details/banners it'll be fine.
Design a whole site in this? that's a laugh. It would take you forever and it would look like shit.

it's for making Google Doodles and banner ads, anything bigger would be a stretch - but it looks better than the Flash-based HTML5 conversion tools and green sock - and it's free.

From @ohhhhhsnap's link:
The first warning sign is missing preview options for Firefox and Opera. The HTML source isn’t the worst I’ve seen — although it suffers from an overload on unnecessary divs, ids and classes — but it’s shocking to find that it only works on Webkit browsers. That’s right, 50% of your audience won’t be able to see your lovingly-crafted animations. Far more people could view Flash-based advertising.

if folks are looking for an actual web-app tool for building sites without having to code themselves, then I'd probably look to apps like
http://froont.com/ and
http://webflow.com/when i saw the landing page for that google tool, i thought perhaps they'd gotten into the game as well, but that thing isn't even remotely what I (or anyone i can think of) would want to use....
