well, entering the prefs and make changes is IMHO already an advanced
action. I repeat: all CAD-Programms allow to modify this (and usually
you even have the option to visually display when in snapping-distance
and/or circle of the latter). I personally was initially confused that
I could change the settings of it (nor some other possible snaps like
midpoint, "Lotpunkt", etc.).
