Perhaps, if you don't know - you can snap to " midpoint " of not only edges but anything between any number of points you mark. With
Snapping
enabled ( it not work with snepping while hold
Ctrl
) press
A
( by default ) to mark point than. Then if you move to other point or mark onher point - snap become work as some median between those points.
In some cases such system even more flexible and handy than the ordinary snap to " midpoint ".
But yes - sometimes I feel lack of old good 3D Max " just midpoint please " snap. So +1.

* There is 3D cursor for marking specific point. No need for additional marks.

Ha ha ha! Really? Now make with 3D cursor " specific " median point between 3 vertex from different sides of model and no need to use additional points.... Repeat until you can do it. Good luck.
There are different methods for different situations.

fuck this is not so stupid I could do it an addon

all broken snap system not priority

* Nevermind. It just ned to live with it. Things always worked this way.
New colored buttons in priority - ton of votes, rework/improve core mechanics not in priority - no one care. Most of people " don't care " about something if it's not entertaiment pictures but some boring text. Thats how demokrathy work.
But lack of votes on this website does not mean that no one from brainy devs take this task and start work on it.

* yea kind of angry too but when I express it something magic happens
last blender orientations
-Blender development coordination will be migrated to Dalai Felinto and Nathan Letwory -Grant for Germano Cavalcante de Sousa for work on snapping tools and precision modeling. great. honestly I won't regret Brecht there. was not for him

* they put the car before the wheel. a guy working since a while on modeling thinks the same about 2.8...I think eevee was a good attempt too but obviously we need more as a render motor in real time. and I did advance materials for eevee...

This one (not only about midpoint snap) Snap to orthogonal/midpoint/tangent position on target
This one in some case - in his picturea also existing midpoints Powerfull Visual Snapping preview of middle ponts on surfaces
