Interesting Idea. I never thought of doing that, but you could have everything as static on both the local and production site, use a good code editor to synchronize the files with FTP, and use ImportObjects and ExportObjects at both ends to manage changes. You could use Git locally to handle version control.
The only down side is that MyComponent handles resources in the build and can export them, but I don't think it imports them at this point (though there's no reason why it couldn't).

I'll play with it some more.
Here is something someone should try

Update
This is absolutely awesomeeeeeeeeee
Thanks to
argnist for making this.
Open your existing chunk or element, click static and save....voila...it creates a copy .php or .whatever on your file system.
Edit that other hard file, and the changes appear in the chunk....sweeeeet!

That does look good - will it create a copy of the file when you create a new template, chunk etc.. in modx ? and how about when I create local chunk and then upload it?

Yes, it will create a copy when you create a new element.
I think the settings are just lovely.
It has one where you can set static as default... I wonder if I can fire that to copy existing elements without first opening each element form...hhmmm
Rewrite file name on change element name
staticsaver.enable_rewrite
No
If you change the name of the chunk, snippet, etc. will change the name of a static file. The old file is not deleted, it will be continue to be in the file system.

Use Grunt. I don't use SASS but I use Grunt to watch and compile all CSS (LESS) and JS as well as generate an appcache, compress images and generate sprites. I use a media subdomain (not the assets dir) for all CSS, JS and images and have a context setting called '[[++media]]' that points to '//media.domain.tld/'.
I have a 'main.less' file that imports everything it needs such as bootstrap and its variables. I imagine you can do the same in SASS.
Edit: I just realised I was reading page 1 (not 3). Doh.
