I have tried many times to get JRebel to work properly. So, I gave up as the docs are horrible. It (JRebel) uses an agent to do the hot swapping instead of modifying the jvm.

I grabbed DECVM (and unfortunately I had to grab ICED Tea to run it on OS X, so this limits my use) and it works wonderfully so far. The only thing that JRebel does offer, that perhaps some of us will figure out for DECVM, is reloading Spring configurations. Since a lot of us are using DI, the DECVM tool only gets us to point, then the wonderful JVM restart has to happen.

I completely agree. I see this sort of 'shotgun hiring' all the time. It is very difficult to hire a lot of very good developers in a short amount of time. Sorry to say it, but there are an ever increasing amount of awful coders out there. I really do mean awful. Kevin is just telling it like he saw it. I am sure the good devs over at Digg would say the same thing.
