It's so funny how BIG and front and center the switch is, yet most of us all overlooked it for so long. Really glad I'm not alone in that haha. :-)

I'm not generally a fan of "snap by" for the simple (and rather pathetic) reason that I'm awful at remembering to switch options back to their usual setting once I'm done with the specific-case setting. This leads to all kinds of screwups and frustrations (like switching to offset mode and forgetting it's on). 
 
So what I do instead is to drag clip start points left to the nearest start of a measure, if it's not already there. This way it doesn't matter where the actual content of the clip begins, it always remains in position relative to the measures when I move it. Hope that makes sense.

That's exactly what I've always had to do (if I don't give up and try something else haha). But its such a pain and sometimes, especially with audio, there will be more unwanted audio before the start of the clip of that I'm bringing back when I drag the start time back, so then I have to re-cut it back once it's in the right place. Just little pains in the butt... So this whole new way is really great for me.
