Garbage. It's useful but Appimage is better in almost any scenario.
Christopher Taylor
It's difficult to completely purge all snap data.
John Turner
No, but apt is also garbage.

What do you use then, pacman?

Should have said arr snaps better than a good repository.
The answer is yes.
Snaps seem to allow a dev to forego a lot of distro specific idiosyncrasies sure, but a lot of those are to maintain quality and usability of programs im thr distros ecosystem. Therefore, i think Snaps enable devs to produce shit programs.
And if your dustro runs the snap software, theres an almost definite probability that you can just as easily build from source.

There's indeed little difference, but apt is one of those few that still can't solve dependencies for shit in 2019
