I started working with Dart in April 2013 and find it a very promising approach for web development especially as I dislike JavaScript.

I like that Dart offers a feature rich open source IDE just from the beginning, also a lightweight but efficient dependency management, and a lot of other tools and frameworks (Polymer, Angular, ...). The team developing Dart has very competent members and the community is very helpful and growing constantly.

At the beginning I hoped Dart would be more like Go but that would probably be to much difference to the currently widespread approaches to web development.

So I see Dart as a pragmatic approach to enhance web development and IMHO way better than existing technologies and at least a great step in the right direction. Version 1.0 is just the beginning I hope.
