The article is basically marketing fluff.
And the main reason to not use Dart is alluded to in a quote in it,
> Dart compiles to JavaScript, so your Dart web apps will work in multiple browsers (not just ours).
which is misleading, since to that should be added "but they will run much more slowly in IE, Firefox, WebKit and Opera", because none of them will embed the nonstandard Dart VM, only Chrome will.
