First I'd like to say, the new disable sticky corners setting is great! The only solutions I've found to disable that annoyance before either did absolutely nothing or made the cursor act really funky at the corners, but this one just works.
I've got one issue with it though. I like sticky edges so I can easily use aero snap, and using this setting prevents me from snapping windows to corners adjacent to other screens to take up a quarter of the screen. I'd love it if the setting had an option to make sticky corners behave like sticky edges do where they are only sticky while dragging a window to the edge of a screen below a certain speed.
The attached diagram shows where I can and can't use aero snap with the setting to disable sticky corners enabled.
Glad to hear you like it! The Windows sticky corners already kind of have that, don't they? When I test, the cursor snags in the corner, but if you just keep moving the mouse it will release and go to the next monitor.

Sticky edges does that by only grabbing the cursor when it is moving below a speed threshold and also dragging a window at the same time. Sticky corners on the other hand will grab the cursor whether or not a window is being dragged and no matter how fast or slow it is going, and will not let go unless the mouse is moved in the other direction then moved around the corner.
That is the default behavior without the setting to disable sticky corners.
With the disable sticky corners setting, sticky edges still behave the same, but sticky corners don't grab the cursor even if it's dragging a window and moving slowly.
Normally this wouldn't be an issue. Not many people have a reason to make a window take up only 1/4 of a screen, but with a 4k screen it's nice to quickly snap windows to the four quarters of that screen so it can be like having 4 screens. I've also found since making this post that I can still use the corners to snap windows to 1/4 of a screen, I just have to slow down so I don't overshoot the few pixels of the corner that will make a window do that.
I have a feeling most people who use this setting are going to be people who also disabled sticky edges so it's probably quite a minority issue.
