Has anyone built something that illustrates Dart's features or made a neat web app with it? Can it handle graceful degradation from running in a browser which natively supports Dart to a browser which requires JS compilation?

Take a look at: http://synonym.dartlang.org/

We're getting there. People are starting to build frameworks and libraries, and there are a bunch of sample apps floating around. The language itself is still changing pretty quickly, so it's most amenable to early adopters. As things get more stable, I think we'll start to see more apps.

Yes. There's a canonical stub .js file that you add a script tag for on your page. That will detect whether or not the browser supports Dart and pull in either the native Dart code or the compiled-to-JS one as appropriate.

With this, you can write an app that any browser can hit and it will do the right thing.

We're using AngularJS on a large project, and although we haven't looked deeply at Dart yet, I still have a ton of questions in regard to their future compatibility, potential overlaps, roadmaps, etc. I've seen some message group posts about this, but there was nothing definitive and the core groups don't seem to collaborate at all (please correct me if I'm wrong).

You'll probably want to see Dart's Web Components[1] work. I suggest you direct any questions over to the mailing list[2].

AJAX commands are still shown as:

    var xhr = new XMLHttpRequest.getTEMPNAME(
Hasn't this been changed per http://code.google.com/p/dart/issues/detail?id=2584 ?
