Hi Matt,
I don't know why it fails for you, but in my projects snapping works
perfectly fine as expected and similar to all other GIS software. I can
select one or more snap layers, tolerances and it works fine. I can also
select whether you want to snap to vertices or segments.
Maybe you set insufficient snap tolerances? You have to set them in map
units, as far as I remember.

Hi Brent,
I created the desired coordinates in a .csv file, loaded as delimited text,
set the snapping preference to a generous distance and attempted to move
vertexes of a polygon layer to coincide with the points. No go. "Snapping"
in qgis does not seem to mean the same thing as in all other software I've
used to date. If I read the manual correctly[1], in qgis snapping means
"search distance from mouse click to find a vertex or segment" as opposed to
the more familiar "search distance from currently selected vertex to vertex
or segment on this or other snap-enabled layers".
[1] node24.html of user guide for qgis 0.9. No hyperlink because the manual
does not seem to be available online in html (?)
Andreas: I agree, I'm certain people would use the function of hand editing
coordinates in many places, were it available. :)
cheers,
