What do the other browser vendors gain by supporting Dart?

It doesn't matter - Dart can compile to JavaScript.
When it might matter is if there are apps (like games) that run faster in a Dart VM than in javascript. Anyway though, even Chrome doesn't include a Dart VM yet by default, so no big deal yet.
To piles of JavaScript, you mean.
As well as, forcing developers to infer the way Dart compiler generates JavaScript code, in the absence of source maps.
I rather use JavaScript, thank you.
dart2js generates source maps
You need browser support for them.
Use chrome when debugging
How to debug browser specific behaviors?
I believe others (at least Firefox) will add eventually. https://wiki.mozilla.org/DevTools/Features/SourceMap
