Super dev mode is obviously *worse* than the classic dev mode. You can't 
debug your app transparently, both client and server in Eclipse, trace it, 
watch the vars etc. Basically, super dev mode is a fast crutch which 
doesn't help to debug at all. I can just dump vars using console.log as 
well. It's inferior and shouldn't be called super. I don't know how to 
develop on GWT further since devs abandoned it as it seems. Now they 
suggest debugging the raw JS code with workarounds like sourcemaps. The 
whole point of GWT is that developer shouldn't know JS to create apps, all 
those tools were not perfect but they did their job. Now it all have been 
cancelled and not replaced (SDM isn't a replacement, it's highly 
experimental as they state). This NIH (NPAPI ⇒ PPAPI) reminds me of 
Microsoft. Ok, I understand that there are security reasons but at least 
don't abandon your own software! I hope they'll port it to PPAPI or make 
SDM working like the classic devmode, with variables inspection, tracing, 
breakpoints and all of it perfectly integrated with Eclipse. I'm really 
frustrated by these fast groundbreaking changes.

BTW, at least Iceweasel in Debian doesn't support the plugin anymore, tried 
several versions (24, 29, 30), the plugin isn't recognized just like in 
Chrome, though it still can be configured. I guess my best choice would be 
installing Chromium 34,  and developing on it. Fortunately, Debian snapshot 
provides all older versions.
