It looks like a great start. I don't think it will yet pull me away from a dual monitor with ST2 + Chrome Inspector + Live Reload, but if it is further polished I think it could.

Note that this is more then reloading the web-page. It actually seems to be doing hot code-replacement on the fly. I only know this from Java in the debug mode or JRebel. Having this work for Javascript will be really neat... I am feeling more and more confident that my move away from Webstorm to ST2 was the right one...

Like I said, it's a great start, but Chrome Inspector still does a lot more (right now), and I'm more apt to stay there -- but this is inspiring, and if it gets closer to feature parity with C.I. -- well it will be a no-brainer then, and I'd happily pay for it, too.

Live Reload appears to be OSX only, and this looks much more simple to setup than Guard-livereload.

There are many different incarnations of "live reload"; it is definitely not OSX only. The concept is simple - refresh the front-end / back-end when and edit or save occurs.

I use sublime 2 + live reload on linux all the time

Live Reload?

I'm presuming you're lazy to use Google or don't know what Live Reload is because you have not articulated your question very well.

I didn't ask you.

Huh? There's no need to be a dick. Chill out.

kaichanvong's response wasn't the most appropriate either.

Fair comment. I apologise for that.

The point still stands that I don't understand what he was asking :)
