To add to Scott,

Component with the dialog :  

    These components will be available in the sidekick. if not can be added to the sidekick

    These components will be available in the edit mode. 

    Gives control for the authors to use/delete these components in the page. 

Component with the design dialog :

    These components are available will not be available for the authors in sidekick and will not be able to add them to the page.

    These component should be included directly in the page component (template referred) to use.

    These components can be edited only in the design mode. By default only admin will have to access to this.

A design dialog changes made to template. See http://cq5tutorials.blogspot.ca/2014/05/creating-component-with-design-dialog.html?m=1 A dialog for a component is just for that component. See http://scottsdigitalcommunity.blogspot.ca/2014_08_01_archive.html?m=0 In that article, you build a dialog for Touch Ui and classic UI
