If you aren't used to the position of the shifter (i.e. if the car is new), I could see how an indicator would be useful. I'm not afraid to admit that in times where I'm a little zoned out, it can be difficult to determine what gear you're in from a quick glance at the shifter, especially with the tolerance of the shifter. Another time that it would be useful is when downshifting; if you shift down from 6th to 4th, but you accidentally grab 2nd, having a quick glance at a readout on your dash would be useful before you clutch out. Again, not talking about drive at 10/10th, I think it's more useful for casual driving.
