I don't get it... how freaking hard can it be to hit F5?

I'm not trying to be snarky - I'm just genuinely surprised that no one has posted that they consider the need for "live refresh" to be wholly unnecessary.

I come from a background in C++ development where compile times range anywhere from a minute to a day, so I'm truly thankful for "instant compilation" of CSS and HTML via a single click of a keyboard button..... but I wouldn't ever dream that my need to hit the F5 key was hindering my development ability!

Genuine answer is that you might want to try a tool like MacRabbit's CSSEdit first, which applies your changes without even saving. You get used to seeing the result instantly.

My motivation for building LiveReload has been to get the same instant feeling, but with compiled languages like LESS.

One use case is a browser in another display. Nice to CTRL-S and just glance.
