Yeah, I thought the same thing. However, this is much better, as it reloads without saving, it also doesn't have to wait that split second for a change notification from the FS. It's a VASTLY superior editing experience.
In my experience, real-time CSS feedback is night-and-day from auto-reload feedback. Ever since first trying MacRabbit CSSEdit (now part of Espresso) a few years ago, I've steered clear of preprocessors simply because I can work way more efficiently writing pure CSS in real time than with all of SASS's features and having to save every time I want to see a change.
This is awesome and I plan on using it. The only issue/feature is that it's using libsass, it definitely has some catching up to do to compete with Ruby's version's features but damn it's fast.
LibSass maintainer here -- it's really great to see another project pick it up, and although we're aware that we still have a fair bit of catching up to do, things like this give us all the more incentive!

Real-time CSS and SASS looks like a game changer.
