Creating a random first class folder in my home directory is intensely
irritating, it is just junk that gets in the way of tab completion. I
have no need to enter that folder every day, quite unlike every other
non-hidden folder in my home directory. It should simply not be there.
This can't take more than a few minutes to fix surely?

I'm reading the response from the snap dev with considerable
incredulity. A developer working on a public facing project, frankly
insulting users making a serious request that about a behaviour that is
undesired.

Snap is a solution seeking a problem. All it is doing is complicating
system administration for minor gain. Tried doing a "df -h" lately? It's
now full of 10s of loop back entries, none of which are useful, all
stupid snap mounts. Given the intention to expand usage this is going to
scale until the basic disk space command "df -h" (among others) will be
unusable without filtering the results.

I think perhaps less arrogance and more looking at the wider user impact
of design decision would be more appropriate. You want this to be a
success, start by NOT irritating your users.
