Hmm... when working on React stuff I don't even have to do the ctrl+R stuff. Hot reloading in the browser is a thing and works quite well. When working with Django it's very close to being the same as the PHP experience thanks to automatic server reloading. I worked with PHP extensively back in the day but I never miss the tight feedback loop (although maybe this experience is why I always make sure I have such a tight feedback loop in whatever I do, I guess you don't always get it by default).
