Personally, I think the most urgent change is to make grid snapping snap only to the visible grid lines - that is, if you zoomed out so that every 10th line is shown, snap only to those 10th lines, not to the invisible lines in between. This should take care of most of the "snapping does not work" complaints, because at most practical zooms, snapping distance is smaller than the visible distance between grid lines, and may be even smaller than a screen pixel, so people just don't realize that it's actually snapping.
And after this is fixed, the next urgent change is to make snapping distance (both guide and grid) work in screen pixels, as opposed to absolute units as now. In other words, an object must snap at the same screen distance from the guide/grid always, regardless of zoom.
