So why would I use this given there are languages which

  - are much better than Dart,
  - run in the browser and
  - run on a crossplatform VM which is much better than DartVM?

I think the obvious answer is that some people disagree with your first point. I think people should be programming in whatever language makes them happiest. For you that may not be Dart. For others, it is.

For me, it is.

Well, its semi-useless enums suck, but other than that I'm quite happy with it.
