Not meaning to badmouth your project, but I've never understood the need for snippets as in code that I can copy and paste. If I repeat myself I use a library, or a more concise language or IDE autocomplete. On the other hand I do use Textmate's snippets feature, but those are interactive templates that I can invoke by pressing a letter and then fill them out by tabbing through them.
I think theyre generally used as a quick way to show someone a piece of code with some nice syntax highlighting.
