I don’t like hotreload, so I don’t see it as a problem. I do a full rebuild and my browser auto refreshes and that’s good enough for me. I’ve had hot reload get me into an invalid state too often to find it useful.
For working on complex webapps that take a bunch of steps to arrive at a certain state, hot reloading can save a ton of time, since you don't have to redo the steps to get there.
One of the bigger time-savers for web development, in my opinion.
