Hello, I believe snap packages are designed like trendy DevOps and NodeJS thingies that are thought of as containerisable, anti-admin, run-in-user-profile, run-on-the-fly software tools.
This trend is ok for non-core software or services, but for core ones, I do not believe there should be a need for them, unless for the extreme deployments like in IoT swarms, for example. I actually hate the fact the many software vendors/providers are switching to an all-snap packaging! Just thought to add.
