I have always considered the deprecation of "DevMode" to mean the deprecation of the "HostedMode"/GWT Dev Mode plugin combo and that SDM was the non-deprecated version. It sounds like some are considering losing SDM as the default run mode. I think that would be a mistake and would make it appear that GWT is more cumbersome to use than it is. Hosted Mode w./ Dev Mode Plugin was broken due to the deprecation of the NPAPI plugin, other than possibly refactoring out SDM from the DevMode class, I would personally consider removing SDM as breaking something that isn't broken for no particular reason.
Also, we use ivy for dependency resolution and due to a bug in the IvyDE classpath container, it does not load things it considers to be a source jar onto the classpath, we already deploy all our libs to WEB-INF/lib.
