 Replying to [comment:10 EmpireOfLight]:
 > Yeah, disabling it would be bad. But what about just changing the
 appearance when something's changed on the page?

 Okay, but why?
 - Movement or animations somewhere on the side are really annoying while
 trying to concentrate on writing.
 - A button that changes color but still works the same way may be
 confusing for some users (what does the change mean?).

 > No sure I understand the issue here...so if a plugin does something when
 the update button is pressed, it won't happen because of the new
 functionality?

 Right, plugins trying to do something on submitting the form will not work
 until some field is changed (so the form can be submitted). Disregard
 that, only applies if the button is disabled.
