I've been working with web apps for a long time and have always turned live reloading off whenever I can.

My code editor always auto saves changes so i just alt tab to browser and refresh to see changes

With live reload, often what happens, especially as projects get larger, is the watcher takes longer to trigger so the live reload is slower than just alt-tabbing, and it sometimes goes off on its own, probably due to multiple quick file changes, which is really annoying

I've never enjoyed this feature
