Why wouldn't you instead show a timestamp of the last save, giving confirmation that the save really went through?

Or a quick tooltip that flashes "Document saved" before disappearing?

Or disable the button for a second after saved?

Or show a cute little "save complete" icon?

Or autosave on change and disregard the save button entirely?

Or just give a save button because that’s what people expect and want?
