My complaints (not looked real recently though):
Snaps are Ubuntu specific and the server side/repo is closed source.
Snaps pollute the df/mount points with per snap lines.
They rolled out in a LTS release with minimal testing. Caused quite a few problems like not being able to boot as multiple snaps drained /dev/random (instead of /dev/urandom) and waited on more entropy, which was god awful slow since the boot hadn't finished.
There was no automatic cleanup of older snaps.
Generally it just seemed like a silly proprietary setup that Canocial tried to claim had wide industry support, despite not having that support. I'm not against the ideas, but why not docker? Flatpak? AppImages?
