You mean the comment: "it doesn't seem to me that there are people who *never* want edge snapping"?
I mean, multiple people willing to pay money for an option to never have edge snapping might not make that comment go away, but it does disprove the assertion. Having to press a modifier key to not have a terrible experience moving windows around on the desktop is outrageous.
IMO smooth movement _should_ be the default behavior.
