Comment (by azaozz):

 The purpose of 'wpdialog' was to make it possible to use the native
 TinyMCE 3.x dialogs API with inline HTML (it supports only iframes). In
 TinyMCE 4.0 that API was updated to support inline and dynamically created
 HTML, so the functionality of the 'wpdialog' plugin is no longer needed.

 Generally you can use any code to create a modal dialog. If you want your
 modals to be draggable and resizable (but not responsive) you can continue
 using UI dialog. There is no requirement to use the TinyMCE API for
 creating modals. This is very handy when you want your modal to be
 available in both the Visual and Text editors.

 The button added to the TinyMCE toolbar can call any JS and you can pass
 the editor instance (or just the editor ID) and use the TinyMCE APIs
 there. Have a look at the current wplink.js.
