I’m not disputing that this is the better case, but I still doubt that insisting on the need on some kind of watcher controlled by phoenix is the only way to go. In the past I’ve had great success with tools like CodeKit, which bundles all the dirty details of compiling source files in an easy to use desktop app. Sure this is not great for workflows involving CI/CD, but such applications can still be viable solutions outside of those constraints. Not everybody needs/uses a project building workflow with all the bells and whistles. When aware of the potential downsides it can be perfectly fine to opt for simpler solutions.
