I can see this being used most effectively as an enhancement in a display/view context rather than replacing traditional forms.
Take the example of a table of employee information where you have the standard edit/delete/view buttons on each row and you notice a typo in one row. To me it's a better user flow to just edit that one field inline than have to pull up the whole form through a modal or page load. Both for speed (in the case of the page load) and forcing the user to re-locate the field they wanted to change.
