Had a pretty bad experience with snap. A project I wanted to try was distributed as a snap package, after fixing many download issues, finally got my package, it didn't work but that was okay, was going to make some changes anyways. Built from source just fine, but it turned out the project itself depended on snap's sandboxing heavily, so I'd have to create a snap package anyways. Unfortunately at the time (and likely still true), the dev tools didn't like anything that wasn't the latest Ubuntu (recent Debian didn't cut it). Apt purged snapd, but still had to manually delete a bunch of snapd related files (systemd units mostly).
