[forge-dev] Food for thought: Seam Forge scaffolding is not 'continuous'

[Lincoln Baxter, III]

This is possibly because if you don't "reload" the entity after making
changes in an external editor, Forge doesn't know the file has changed, and
rewrites the same contents... probably something to fix.

That's my guess as to what they are referring to. Good point though.
