It’s dangerous to call things Smart... When they behave dumb, the name sound like an insult. Sadly, this is the case.
Please provide more specific cases, with video proofs, ask you colleagues to share and vote, to move this further. This is the way to force changes to things that are broken — be vocal and persistent. Thank you all and let’s hope we get heard.

I completely agree with the above comment as well. Smart guides were working for me up until I installed Illustrator 2018. I had to reinstall the previous version because I couldn't find a solution. I had thought to reset the preference file but just gave up out of frustration. The "unsmart" guides were causing a complete work stoppage for me and were starting to cost me money because it prevented me from getting projects completely in a timely manner. This needs to be fixed. It's too bad that Adobe swallowed up FreeHand, I loved that program.
InDesign has very powerful features that make it easy to quickly create layout structure with Margins and Columns, Ruler Guides, and Create Guides. Most designers use a grid of some sort to create structure and flow in a layout and I wish that Illustrator had these same features so that it was not so painful to create infographics and other illustration heavy designs that still need structure.
