Here's my current workflow for editing CSS:
h2.post_title
or something)I want to avoid step 6. I.e., I want the ability to edit CSS via a Firebug-like UI and be able to commit my changes to the relevant file immediately (rather than having to copy them by hand as I do with Firebug)
Edit: Something that works on a Mac would be ideal
Have you tried "Web Developer" extension in Firefox? It allows you to open, edit and save CSS files.
Check out Backfire:

Haven't tried it, but sounds promising.
Another possible workflow:
I only use Firebug for debugging (eg: "why is this thing getting that style?") not for making changes when I know where they need to go in the CSS. This workflow does depend somewhat on being able to reload the CSS easily. If you're working on an app where hitting reload completely disrupts your state it might not be ideal.

Step 6 would then be: 6: One click on the "Sync now" button in Firebug!!
The click sends your changes to the desktop application, which syncs your orignal css files. You can also choose the changes you want to sync in the application. It works with your favorite text editor or IDE and on both Windows and Mac!
Heureka?
