Snap is a disaster, and full of problematic structural decisions that are now really hard to fix (e.g. [1]).
I've decided to delay my upgrade to 22.04 given Canonical's increasingly aggressive push towards Snap, and now I'm considering moving to Arch or some other distribution.

The latest reasoning provided being that they don't have the resources... But either they have so little resources they shouldn't be pushing snap in its current form at all or they're lying (and the former reason still applies). Either case it's disappointing and will slowly destroy all the goodwill they had.
