I’m also confused and dissatisfied with the recent changes. The Gumball experience I’ve wished for since a long time only worked for a few WIP versions.
I’m one of those users who always has Osnaps enabled, but when I move something with the Gumball, I don’t want object to stick to anything unless I tell it to “stick now.” It also needs to be very easy and convenient to activate.
I’ve done many comparisons… the simplest one, however, is the difference between smearing something with glue and then having to force your way through a crowded area to stick something, or to smear something with glue only after you are already at the place.
Very unpleasant experience is when you want to move something with the Gumball and it immediately snaps to something random in the crowded scene. So even if you decide to turn it off right away, you got that unpleasant hiccup.
@maje90’s examples clearly demonstrate how, even in simple scenes, unwanted Gumball Osnaps can do more harm than good.
