I think its a really bad idea. If your object is snapping almost everything, it does not help in your design process.
It depends on what type of design your are doing, really. When I'm working on web-design mockups, I usually have several snaps turned on at once. For example, I often want to snap a rectangle to another rectangle's bounding box, and then snap some bezier nodes to the rectangle. In the current system, I can turn all the snaps on at once and work without interruption. In the new system, I would have to change a settings from "snap bounding boxes to bounding boxes" to "snap nodes to bounding boxes" each time I want to do this. Software that is "easier" but less flexible is not really easier, since the user has to do extra work to get around it. Don't put arbitrary constraints on the user!
- The "Always snap" check box is missing.
What does it do? For me, it does nothing, or am I missed something?
The "always snap" box goes with the "snap sensitivity box." Activating "always snap" makes the sensitivity infinitely large so that snapping always occurs.
