Hi,

The object snapper in ACAD is a bit different: if only snaps after clicking the left mousebutton;  this way ACAD can show what point will be snapped to before doing the actual snapping. Inkscape however snaps instantly while dragging: it cannot show what it will snap to, because it already has snapped by that time. The only thing we could do is show afterwards where it has snapped, which is only useful in cases where this is not immediately obvious. For example in selections with a large number of nodes, nodes being very close to each other, or at low snapping sensitivity.

I tend to think AutoCAD does snapping pretty well. It places a small static
indicator at the point that will be snapped to, given the current mouse
location and snap settings. In Inkscape I could imagine highlighting the
target node or bounding box. A video of snapping in AutoCAD can be seen
here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PNGsZ3aZuck. You can skip to ~6:20 when
they start using running snaps which would probably be most appropriate for
a tool like Inkscape.
    

It is just amazing. The on-canvas indicator would be really awesome.
