    http://aboutcode.net/vogue/ Vogue auto-reloads your css and you can still use your editor of choice (vim, emacs, textmate, notepad). http://incident57.com/less/ less.app auto-compiles your less whenever it changes. Similar tools exist for sass, stylus, and whatever other superset of css you prefer.

    The most elegant way to handle this (IMO) is to use a combination of Compass( http://compass-style.org/ ) and Vogue( http://aboutcode.net/vogue/ ). Compass has a great command line feature called "watch" that simply watches for file system events (linux, os x) or polls (windows) your folders for changes and recompiles your stylesheets. Vogue detects stylesheet changes right away and reloads them in your page via Web…
