Thanks for the feedback. (project maintainer)
I agree that "live edit" is an exciting feature. It supports a tighter feedback loop that lets you iterate in the correct context.
There are two challenges
1. transpiling, which would require a tighter integration with the project's build tools. Not impossible, but something that would require the correct UX. Chrome DevTools supports live edit now, but that is only for non source-mapped sources.
2. mapping to project sources. VS Code has done a lot of great work with source maps to map to the on disk sources with source maps. In theory, this should be easy, but there are many build tools and some edge cases with nested source maps, imagine an ember app that pulls in ember libraries which are also mapped.
With that said, this is definitely exciting and with the new front-end we can begin to work on an ambitious projects like this!
