That presentation is based on Gilles Castel's approach to snippet design. Mine has a fairly different philosophy with greater emphasis on visual representation. For example, my snippets for inverse limit and the empty set:
snippet lim<- "inverse limit" iA
\varprojlim
endsnippet
snippet o/ "Empty set" wA
\emptyset
endsnippet
However, whichever you prefer, I highly recommend looking into the following two snippet classes of mine:
snippet !! "inline math mode postfix" A
\$$0\$
endsnippet
snippet "(\S+)!!" "inline math mode postfix" Ar
\$`!p snip.rv = match.group(1)`\$
endsnippet
snippet "([A-Za-z]+)@@" "Autoformatting common functions" rA
\\`!p snip.rv = match.group(1)`{$0}
endsnippet
Although they are very simple, I am extremely proud of them because they make math insertion so much easier: they turn math mode and calling macros into a postfix call, which is very natural for most of us. Try them and I promise they will help.
To see how nice they are, to display $\log{\log{\log{x+1}}}$:
