"Development mode" works fine when editing the main scss file but it doesn't trigger a recompile if I edit partials in the partials directory. If I want to use partials, I have to keep clicking the "Recompile SASS / SCSS files" button in the appearance tab.

You are right, we do this to minimize the compilation work for faster development.
We are recompiling somefile.scss only if it has changed since we last compiled it, that means that if it calls a partial and this one has change since the last time we compiled somefile.scss the changes won't show unless something was changed in somefile.scss or you press the recompile button.
You can force compilation of somefile.scss in your theme .info file using this line :

styles[styles/somefile.scss][options][recompile] = true

This will cause it to recompile on every page load, it is not perfect but it is the best solution we could think of, and we are always open for suggestions.
