(#19859584)
When I made the decision in December:
Preference for Dart over JS (lots of reasons, involving language, package manager, compiled performance)
Predictable UI behaviour across devices, OS versions, platforms. As long as you handle presence/absence of device features, and build your UI to scale properly, it behaves as you would expect, everywhere. The value of this cannot be overstated enough.
Future opportunity for code sharing with non mobile platforms. Even without Flutter-web, I could still compile the business logic part of my code to JS and use it with another UI (similar things can be done with React).
