Thanks Jofers, glad you like it.
You can control the snapping more precisely with Shift+Ctrl, or if you zoom in to the model the snapping distance will get shorter.
When you extrude any faces it should extrude along the average normal of those faces, I can't replicate that error in any other version of Mesh Edit. That does happen if you only extrude edges without a face though so I can take a look at that.
