SDM takes some getting used to, but now I wouldn't want to go back to Dev mode. The real advantage I have found with SDM is the ability to debug a large codebase in reasonable time - startups for Dev mode can be very slow. Source maps are now supported pretty much everywhere, and work very well in Chrome. I used to complain about SDM but I can honestly say that after months of use I found it a reasonable way to debug. Not perfect, but it did mean that I could debug graphics-intensive code in reasonable time, which was just not possible in Dev mode.
