I don't know that we have ever checked in IDE settings
GWT development is much easier with the IDE and there is a fair amount of manual setup required without the settings to run the "hosted" development environment. Hosted development is the key productivity benefit and allows debugging in Java (rather than building, deploying then having to debug Javascript). GWT provides Eclipse project generators to get started and they do not target other IDEs e.g. NetBeans because they claim those IDEs typically do a good job of importing eclipse project settings (can't vouch for this myself, not having tried).
If I where coming into GWT fresh (as many will be), I would certainly be
happy to see a default eclipse setup file to get going. Initial
configuration can be a bit of a hurdle.
However, as someone who uses GWT quite a bit, I wouldn't use those
settings. I would use the Cypal Studio plugin for Eclipse and the GWT4NB
plugin for Netbeans. Both pretty much setup the hosted development for
you and are more convenient than using GWT's eclipse tools.
However that info helps.
