Show/edit Gradient stop position as precise number
The gradient fill, in it's current form, does not show what position (from 0 to 1, or 0 to 100) the stop is located, like in other popular adobe applications such as Illustrator and Photoshop. This means that if I want the accurate position for each stop I have to export it to SVG and open it in Illustrator. This makes it really hard to make gradients with a middle fade accurately, and since there is no way to actually save the gradient as a swatch, you're stuck eyeballing it.

Until there is a proper implementation, I found a workaround to get the exact percentage.
1, Select the object which you applied gradient on.
2, Export it as a SVG
3, check out SVG XML and you will find similar lines to these:
<linearGradient id="linear-gradient" x1="0.5" x2="0.5" y2="1" gradientUnits="objectBoundingBox">
<stop offset="0" stop-color="red"/>
<stop offset="0.456" stop-color="blue"/>
<stop offset="1" stop-color="green"/>
</linearGradient>4. Offset property equals to percentage in css
Maybe it will be handy for someone :)

Make a rectangle 100px high, drag some guides where you will blend another color (it's pixel to percent made easy) and drag your gradient slider there. Should be precise enough.
Of course we'll need something more precise the day we can export CSS code... -

This is really important to convey to a developer how the Gradient should be configured on code.
