How often do we create console statements for loops and other things in Javascript? How often do we write boilerplate code for HTML5 documents in HTML? How often do we write the identical code to establish a style in CSS and change the selector? All of these activities are pretty repetitious and detract from our productivity. Snippets are a quick way to finish a chunk of code.

If you need to share a large HTML sample with a teammate, you can send it as a code snippet within chat rather than uploading an HTML file or pasting the code as plain text. Most editors will apply code formatting and syntax highlighting to make it easier to skim over the code.
