Yes but if you could configure via User Preferences what you wanted snapping for, you would be using this a lot less and so could maintain a good flow. Or even better, combine this with switching snapping to a modifier key (and a User Preference to default snapping to on or off), that way you always know instinctively whether it's on or not rather than assuming one thing, finding it's the other and then having to press the N key, interrupting flow. Like Avid does it, basically - a tried and trusted method.
The main reason I'm using the current snapping toggle is because I mostly want snapping on for clips, and mostly off for the playhead. So customisable snapping would be great for me, I would need to use the toggle so much less.
