Well, I'd prefer Canonical to fix their shit, instead of forcing immature products onto users. I'm not against snap per se, as there are valid reasons for sandboxing, especially for games (remember when Steam accidentally wiped some user's home folders back in 2015? Sandboxing would have prevented that).
However, in its current state, snap causes just too much friction. For example Firefox can't remember the last used directory for up/downloads, Steam snap will just create a new data directory (forgetting about the games already downloaded), there's no way to allow additional folders (like /net from autofs) in snap apps etc. It's just a myriad of issues which make working with the system unnecessarily complex and frustrating, and there seems to be little progress fixing those.
