I can't live without hot module reloading anymore.. With my Vue projects (no idea if React does it like this too) I can update my code and it only reloads either CSS, JS or HTML and it completely maintains state. Textfields maintain their content while I edit their CSS, just great.
Wasn't long ago that auto reload on file change was a fancy feature...
Some of the big table stakes features that Brunch is missing are code splitting and handling of binary assets (allowing things like image inlining). It also doesn't have true hot module reloading, which is a pretty useful dev feature.
