Hi Thomas, I just realized that lack of Firefox 27+ support for dev mode recently (tried it because Chrome's plugin crashed too often) and really think this is a shoot in the foot for GWT : even if you don't control Mozilla choices of course, forcing to move to a non-mature SDM is very risky for GWT itself.
By non-mature, I mean a SDM that lacks features DM had, such as Java-level inspection (inspecting Java values of Java variables). I am amazed that nobody complains about this loss. Even if you achieve proper support for debugging in SDM from the IDE, will it allow such Java-level inspection ? I doubt it, you'll only allow JS-level inpections, while allowing Java-level stepping, which does not fit the GWT promise of keeping at the Java level. This is the reason why most of GWT developpers use it.
