lance makes a good point about the mig wire being pretty universal for most welding applications - so there isn't much need to change it -
but one reason you'd want to do that is to weld outside.
Mig welders blow the gas around the wire as you weld - if it's windy, that gas gets blown away.
So in any mig welder, you can run flux core wire which as I explained earlier, takes the place of the bottle fed shielding gas. Flux core is better for windy environments.
But - for everything else - you'll probably want the regular wire with the gas.
If it's a flux core mig (popular, cheap, and incorrectly named) you can ONLY use flux core wire - there is not fitting for the gas.
So - to me it's a pain because I do a lot of outdoor welding - and a lot of indoor welding of sheet metal with the gas. It's not the end of the world, but it's a pain.
