I have worked with pre-press and creative people for some 10 years. The 
snap-to-grid feature has always been off for all but one of them.
You may find it strange that these expectations differ from yours, thats fine. 
People are different, and there is even a usability rule for that "you are 
not your user".

If you play with the 3 tool-dockers from the default tool you will see we 
have made adequate tools to allow proper positioning. People can type 
coordinates directly to make them 'on grid'. People can align them to other 
objects, people can snap them to other objects and last, people can still 
turn on snap-to-grid in the view menu very easily. Its not like our view 
menu is very long.

I am convinced that KOffice will be great for the usecases you have in mind.
