Snippets, layouts, and things like radiant tags are not true web 
elements.  Instead they are abstract concepts that correspond to how 
users go about building sites. Concepts like these should guide the user 
to work more effectively.

Frankly, it's one of the things I like most about Radiant.

We need to be able to reference them somehow to build pages but I like 
the delineation to the user that "these are pages" and "these are only 
parts of pages."  Once you get outside developers, you can easily get 
into too much abstraction.

While I favor Radiant owning all content and, possibly, abstracting it 
(I'm from that same old OO school), I agree wholeheartedly that users 
fundamentally approach the different content types differently.

For instance the benefit of page parts is lost on me if the content type 
is an image.  Of course an edit image page... hmmm that might be cool.
