Currently if you change something in ClientApp/css/site.css in the ReactRedux template while the app is running the change is not reflected until you do a full refresh.

The console ouputs the following:

According to the extract-text-webpack-plugin docs, it does not support hot module replacement.

Would you considering switching to another style loader that does support HMR? And maybe including PostCSS?

I'm willing to do the work and create a PR if you agree. Bear in mind I'm pretty new to webpack, but I have time to hit my head on the wall until it works.
