I might be missing something, but I feel like this is just reinventing IDEs that exist today (but are boo'ed by Sublime Text/TextMate guys.)
For instance, when it comes to Python, PyCharm (http://www.jetbrains.com/pycharm/features/index.html) seems far more powerful -- it provides live debugging/breakpoints (with the ability to change attributes of running code -- even for server code), code introspection, documentation browsing, refactoring, JavaScript debugging (integrated in FireFox), VirtualEnv support, tight integration with Django/Flask for templates, etc... And it's fast
So aside from the look and feel, what does LT have to offer?
The more tools the better, but I just wonder if anybody who has used a modern robust IDE can offer a comparison?
Fix and continue isn't live; its a start, but you still have lots of work to do in UX to display evaluation. I would try using LightTable before passing judgement.
