If you are looking for a corporate ready, serious framework, I would recommend Ember.js also. With ES6, and with ember-cli, it is a real a game changer and solid as rock. And it is already a proven solution for serious frontend apps.

I've worked with both Ember.js and ExtJS / Sencha on front-end projects with close to 100k lines of JavaScript code several years ago. JavaScript was the problem in both (developer written JS), stuff would sometimes work in one browser and not 100% in another browser (minor things, but in the corporate world, minor errors could cost you your contract),

Less files we had to manually build a build script for, we had issues where we had to tweak our code to make minification work (In Dart that's taken care of for you). We had over 5000 selenium tests running over and over the whole day and javascript errors which could have been avoided with a stricter type system went unnoticed often.

The components are nice, if you can replace the JavaScript with Dart, it'll be an excellent choice.

querySelector is a good example, it's only partially supported in some browsers (partial support in IE8 and buggy on IOS) - if I use it in JavaScript, chances are that it might work in some browsers and might break in another browser - I now need to go check which JS APIs I can use and can't use based on the browsers I want to support (painful)

Use querySelector in Dart and it'll work across all browsers that Dart says is supported, if not you file a bug and Google fixes it.
