I imagine for example easier interfaces where you can organize photos, notes or documents just dragging them around. Or to remove content you don't want to see when printing (a la Aardvark). However since as I've mentioned, the implementation of contentEditable varies significantly from browser to browser I think it will be years before we see actual applications using this.
