I always turn off most snapping. Why? Because I have my preferred layout already, and have good dexterity to move things.
When I drag a title bar to the top center, as I have for decades, it tries to maximize the window. I never want that, and have double-click titlebar (that’s more efficient) if I do.
There’s also a weird state machine between snap to size and normal mode I never completely understood. Believe the thinking is that it should work the same as max/restore but I don’t want three modes to keep track of.
If I do snap the size/position that’s what I want, and would never want it to go back to the old place, aka restore.
I think KDE has some useful subset that can be configured. The edge snapping is not bad, and the ones that require a modifier key.
These are implementation concerns however. The basic idea is good but I haven’t seen it done right by default yet.
