Blake, One thing is that some new upcoming features of GWT might not work in DevMode anymore (I read a bit about JsInterop). But for now I keep FireFox 24 ESR on my machine. That is the version that most enterprise users will use for the time being and I can always do a check on newer versions without DevMode.
It is a bit silly that Internet Explorer is currently one of the best supported browser for DevMode.
