Hmm, it's good to try to be different, bit they certainly shouldn't push "different" stuff when it doesn't even work yet. I've not minded the transition to systemd, for example. Snap has been awful, I don't like it and every time it's pushed that bit more I feel like Canonical are behaving like Microsoft somewhat.
Debian is looking attractive.
Abandoning snap is not enough, it's more about respecting users ... but they are obviously under no obligations to me, I'm not paying.

Not because it necessarily made anything harder, but because it was an arrogant change for no goddamned reason. UX should start with humility -- if you change things that lots of people are used to then you'd better have some damn good reasons.
