For Illustration, it's not really useful. For Technical drawing I see a usability win. I say yes to having it optional.

Here's a proposal:

1. Grid snapping off: create on curve.
2. Grid snapping on:

2a. Segment is Bezier: create on curve. 2b. Segment is line: snap to grid.

I could live with that.

Just wondering: what is the use case for adding a node with grid on, and not snapping it to the grid? Shape preserving is too weak an argument for me; in that case, why add a node at all? I presume you want to add a node to change the looks of the path! (either change slope, or move the node, in which case the node will snap to grid?)
