Proof that it makes sense:

1. When you disable snapping, you have no need/motivation to start seeing the
grid, since you don't interact with it.
2. When we enable snapping again, we're back to the default state of affairs:
By default, there is snapping, even though we don't see the grid. And people
aren't clamoring for LO to show them the grid.

So, all the sense of turning snapping on and off remains even if we don't touch
the Show Grid setting. QED.


> And we have both in the main menu under View Grid, which is sufficient for Writer and Calc. 

It's sufficient when you're writing, but insufficient when you're _drawing_ -
even if it's in Writer (or Calc, though I never draw in Calc so I wouldn't
know.

Snap-to-Grid is on the ribbons - albeit in menubutton - in MS Office:

and I think that's in all Office apps - when you're drawing.

Ok, so we half-agree on this at least... perhaps I'll manage to convince you of
the other half.

Wish I had the time to dabble in this right now... :-(
