Obviously I can't answer for Bradd, but I've found two cases where files 
with snips in them can become annoying:

1) When I want to edit a program quickly to change a character or a 
string or something, I'd rather just launch vim or pico and be done with 
it. If the file isn't plain text, I have to launch DrScheme instead.
2) I'm frequently SSHed into my work computer without X forwarding 
enabled. MrEd won't run without X forwarding enabled, so I can neither 
edit my source files nor run my programs in this situation if they've 
got fancy snip%s in them (even if the program I want to run is a script 
that doesn't have anything to do with X). This is a real practical 
problem for me.

#1 is annoying; #2 has made me stop using XML boxes for things.
