If you're building web apps chances are you want to see your changes frequently since modifying a model, controller action or view may yield a different UI state.

I'm constantly editing code then directing my attention to my browser to see the results. This is independent of CSS or JS changes that might be picked up by asset watching tools like esbuild or tailwind's CLI tool.

Fair enough, I build json rest apis in Crystal, then someone else does the js/css front end.
