Not just you. Hotreload can be handy to some extent, annoying in others - I like to preserve state of given app including what the dom looks like + the window/memory state in devtools. Iterate in code, refresh, then compare. You can do that with multiple browser tabs for example. But not with hotreloading; each tab will re-render/reload the global window state.
