If you've ever tried jrebel or even the default hot swap feature on the JVM the edit-and-continue feature feels like a bad joke though. Any non-trivial change requires a restart, and you are forced through a series of distracting button presses and dialogs any time you want to use it. In Eclipse (for example) you just start typing code, (none of this silly locking the IDE while debugging stuff), and the debugger will update the running program instantly. With jRebel you can even change things structurally without restarting. Oh how I would love an actually working hot swap feature for .Net.
