Steve - I was wondering if a couple of passes: snap to point, followed by
intersect or ?? might improve your running topology issues.  We have found
simple intersect is a great detective for object error(s).  Further
thoughts?

I find it difficult to call it a "manager." It does promote and ensure
topology, but that doesn't help you manage the problems that come up.

For instance, I have a file that I have to edit constantly, and has been 
through nearly three years of changes. It went from 1,232 polygons to 7,021 
polygons after running Topology Manager on it! How am I supposed to 
handle  5,789 additional, tiny, polygons manually? And "Yes," I do know how 
to draw maps properly.
