As someone who has built windowed UIs with ART (screenshot & screencast: http://www.cloudera.com/blog/2010/07/whats-new-in-cdh3b2-hue/) I can say it's ok for light work, but browsers struggle with it when you use it heavily. It's not ART per se but rather SVG in general, and forget IE support. The VML adapter works, but it's really slow. It's also harder to retire elements from memory, so while the browser doesn't leak memory technically (in that if you refresh the page you get your memory back) long-running pages (think apps like gmail) can suffer if you aren't especially diligent.
CSS3 is a better solution in my opinion as it's not CPU intensive and degrades well.
