I haven't done enough with Flutter to really report on it but I like it better than React and Android's API so far. I do feel comfortable enough with Dart to say that it is very familiar and easy to pick up. It's Java syntax mostly with modern features and much less boilerplate code. The concurrency model is the same one you find in distributed languages like Erlang, Golang, and Akka Java or Scala. The bad parts of Dart have nothing to do with the language. Oh, and functions are first-class citizens which is my biggest gripe with Java.

Exactly. Dart is a sort of rational and modern variant of Java/C# language family. It is excellent in handling async/await.
I find Dart Code extension for Visual Studio Code fairly useful for developing Flutter. Dart Code as well as IntelliJ supports for flutter hot reload.
