The Dart language and ecosystem powers the popular [Flutter toolkit][].
Developers have created more than 500,000 Flutter apps for Android,
iOS, the web, and other targets using Dart.


Google engineers use Dart to create many apps,
including some that are essential to Google's business.
For example, if you use the [Google Ads][] web or mobile app,
you're using a Dart app that supports much of Google's revenue.
Also, the Assistant team at Google uses Dart for features in Smart Displays,
as described in [this announcement.][flutter-io19]

If we're keeping quotes, I think they should be ones that talk about Dart somehow.

And, yeah, the layout of these quotes looks pretty odd in a list like this...

Alternatively, we could just change this to short descriptions, and pull them up a level, e.g.:

* [BMW][]: A total of 300 developers use Dart to deliver a unified *My BMW app* for iOS and Android.

and provider with a Flutter architecture developed 100% in-house."
* [Sonos][]:
> "...If setup is the “grand entryway” to the Sonos ecosystem, Flutter forms
its elegant façade..."
* [Alibaba][]:
> "When the Xianyu team was challenged to improve their user experience by
developing an app that was consistent across platforms, had beautiful graphics,
and still loaded fast, they turned to Flutter."
* [PUBG][]:
> "When the PUBG MOBILE team wanted to add a community module to allow players
from all over the world to share gameplay clips and more, they turned to Flutter."

Isn't this "by almost every product groups"? (product groups are people?)

Not sure I understand how this is "External"? Should it be "Other"?


Beyond Google and Flutter, many companies use Dart for building their applications:

* [Workiva's][] next-generation client applications for their productivity suite
are built with Dart.
* [Wrike][] uses the [AngularDart][] framework to develop project management tools.
* [Blossom][] is an agile project management tool built with Dart.
* And many more!

question: Should these not be combined with the quoted ones listed previously? If so, then move then and rewrite with active voice.
