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.
