I find your posy really interesting and the thing I find interesting about is twofold. One is the shear amount of features packed into X1 and the other is the learning curve to access those features. Is that 'snap' feature amazingly feature rich and works as intended or is it so complex the casual user will never be able to fully access all of its features?

I am not a power user at all but I've been trying to learn X1 since its introduction and I had no idea about those two setting nor any idea how to use them. I'm going to try those settings (and more) to see what becomes of my 'snapping' skills.

This post, I think, also points out how desperately Cake needs to produce some video tutorials on how to work X1. It's just so deep and feature rich there's no way to find the nuances that enhance your work flow without years of discovery. That is normal practice for any DAW but we need some help out here. Bring on the videos.

I had snapping problems in Piano Roll view but it seems to work out when I zoom out a bit.

I assumed this was a feature -- when you're zoomed in close the smart tool lets you fine tune note placement without having to disable the snapping.  I could be wrong, but I've actually found it useful this way.
