It's both similar and different in many ways :)
But I think adding support for it alongside IPFS wouldn't be too much of a pain, as superficially they work in somewhat similar ways. Primarily Dat is targeted towards sharing/storage of research data, which I think would be a cool thing to spread support for.
It has a browser that allows people to easily make and navigate sites, called Beaker. It has some really interesting projects built around it, and as marknadal says, it supports changing the contents of locations etc.
I believe Dat works over Tor currently, which is interesting. However finding info on successes/problems with the various P2P stacks and Tor is a bit hit-and-miss.
