"...LED to indicate state."

This will not do when I'm trying to sleep in a darkened room.

This is funnier because by definition it already has a many-watt light to indicate state!

Doesn't work when you are in a poorly designed space with several adjacent 3-way switches that control interleaved lights. Oh, how many times I've wished those switches had some indicator.

Actually, I think on that specific switch it was the other way round. Personally I'd have preferred your scenario - because it means I can always find the switch.

I would be okay with a dim orange LED. I already sleep with several idle LEDs on so one more won't hurt.
