I think another reason why God hasn't brought Gabriel back is because well... I don't think he ever died in the first place.
I mean this is the guy who faked his death in his first appearance on the show. The Trickster.
When Lucifer talked about how he'd taught Gabriel all of his tricks I couldn't help question that, since well, he's been locked up for a long time while Gabriel was learning new tricks while playing with the pagans.
Add to that the fact of how easily Gabriel was killed, with no real damage to the surrounding area (something I find hard to believe considering what we've been told of what would happen as a consequence of the battle between Micheal and Lucifer). All of which leaves me to think that Gabriel quite simply played his ultimate trick, allowing Lucifer to think he killed him, so he could slip out of sight, and stop the Winchesters or anyone else from bothering him.
I do hope that if or when SPN brings him back, they go with this excuse, cause you're right, it's just no fun when every death can just be reversed.
