In summary, the way I see it: A lot of hipsters that hunt and jump on the latest tech bandwagon hated that AngularJS team ported their framework to Dart. So they started spewing hate and vitriol at Google and Dart developers. The underlying sentiment I read was -- "you mean I will be stuck unable to tell everyone I work with the latest bleeding edge tech because there is a newer, cooler faster hemorrhaging tech out there, after I spent nights online evangelizing about how awesome this last bandwagon I jumped on is"
It was rather amusing and sad. The amusing part is how the stereotype of immaturity and childishness was just re-enforcing itself. The sad part is that here is Google spending man months (and heck, if you know me, I don't like Google's privacy track record as anyone else here) of work and giving it back to the community and as a thank you they got spit in the face ("how dare you release open source projects, that you spend money developing, in a direction I don't agree with!").
