Edge snapping is hideous. I don't know about other people, but I know how to use a mouse and am perfectly capable of moving a window to the edge of the screen without the OS or application 'helping' me. If I don't move it completely to the edge, it means I intend to leave some room there.
Adium is a perfect example of what not to do in this respect. Windows snap to screen edges and there is no way of disabling it, neither from the preferences, nor by holding a modifier key. Acceptable behaviour would be to have a default preference and being able to inverse the effect with a modifier.
