For me, in Track view, you get to this under View|Display|Aim Assist.
I use it a lot when splitting or trimming clips, but I agree it is annoying when you aren't using it or don't need it.
Exaple: Cutting vocal clips in 12 tracks so the clips all start on the same beat and can easily be copied and pasted into another Chorus. (Obviously, make the clip start a beat or half beat before the actual sound begins.)
