PSA: Stop using the base point snap for everything in AutoCAD

Ngl I used to just hit the endpoint snap and call it a day for years. Figured it was faster than switching between snaps. Then last week I had a project where I kept getting these tiny gaps at intersections on a floor plan. Took me 45 minutes to figure out it was because I was snapping to endpoints instead of intersections on overlapping lines. Switched to using the intersection snap and everything lined up perfect the first time. Honestly it saves so much rework and makes your drawings look way cleaner. Anyone else stubborn about sticking to one snap and regret it later?
