Usually instructions about using developer mode mention, that you need to reboot the phone after setting the mode on.
I get always the terminal visible in the app list without any reboot. And I have succesfully used the terminal also without rebooting.
So, is it really needed, and when ?

In order to start sshd (if you enable remote access via ssh) you need to reboot the device, afai remember that's the only reason.
EDIT 27th Jan 2014:
I was wrong, (I just flashed a device new, and need developer mode). So sshd is up right after enabling ssh remote access and setting a password, no reboot needed. I could connect via wlan. But I can't connect through usb network, since when I plug in via usb connector, it does not offer me the developer mode. Also in settings the option for always use developer mode is missing. After a reboot, I have these options available. So currently reboot is needed so usb_moded takes new config into use and connections over usb-net are possible.

It does not reboot automatically after enabling developer mode and I never rebooted after enabling it. Still, everything was working fine, including SSH access. So, no reboot needed, obviously. Maybe the text displayed is a bit outdated?
