Live reload is available via existing tools like Grunt, LiveReload and CodeKit
From 4 comments
Yeah, I'm not quite sure why they're pushing "live changes" feature so hard. It's been around forever.
bbrks on HNYes, but there may be some non-dev designers that do not yet know how to set it up, or haven't heard of Grunt.
adyus on HNwill give it a go, though there are other ways to do the live reload (grunt for instance). Being able to save code changes in element inspector is nice, any way to do that in…

From 2 comments

arvin on HNI would suggest to make it compatible with 10.7 :)

Automatic vendor prefixing

What does it do that CodeKit and a browser cannot?
From 2 comments
What does this do that codekit and a browser cant?
oliverhunt on HNI was asking because the OP to my comment implied it could be done with just a browser and CodeKit. I'd rather keep the number of dependencies to a minimum. I haven't used Chrome…

Is there a feedback address?
