An angle of attack guage would be useful and I wish I had one.
But most pilots are not concerned with AOA as they shoud be, rather they think in terms of airspeed. They would need to learn (or remember) more advanced facts. The fact that a wing stalls at a lower angle of attack with the flaps or aileron down is forgotten by most pilots.
