We've had debates about certain actions that shouldn't cause that light to come over the years while beta testing. Because, as OP says, at some point it becomes the check-engine-soon light you just ignore because it's always on.This one gave me a smile: "The "preset edited" light is practically useless because any change will cause it to light up."
Well yes, the preset was edited.
Well I just don’t feel there are other viable options. I see the point.
What’s a similar piece of gear with no flaws?
That's pretty much how I've treated it, just completely ignored its existence. To me it doesn't make sense because you are looking at the screen rather than the LEDs so you are not going to spot unsaved changes from the Edited light. Axe-Edit does it much better because you can see the Save button change. Maybe having a little red dot pop up on the FM3 screen would serve this purpose better.We've had debates about certain actions that shouldn't cause that light to come over the years while beta testing.

if every piece of gear has flaws, seems strange to put "flawed" in the title of the thread.Every piece of gear has flaws. Just different ones.
