[Radiant] Why do we have snippets, page-parts and layouts at all?

[Jim Gay]

If you have a single site that has multiple layouts, yet has the same  
items on each layout, then a snippet keeps it DRY.

Example:
1 layout has the navigation on top, another has the navigation on the  
left. If they are the same navigation code, you only need to write it  
once in the snippet.
