I am not particularly pro-Snap. I am not particularly pro or anti anything in this space.
I repeatedly said that Flatpak has strong popular support. It does. I see it often.
What I tried to point out was the ways Canonical feels that Snap is superior to Flatpak.
There is a lot of FUD in this debate. More than usual.
Personally, once I discovered Martin Wimpress' `deb-get` tool, I removed both snap and flatpak from my own main Ubuntu boxes.
But then I joined the freebie Ubuntu Pro deal and then snapd gets reinstalled, so it didn't seem worth fighting it. But Pro has nothing I personally need, so I may yet purge them both again.
If nothing else, I enjoyed the faster startups, the cleaner `mount` output, and the simpler update routine.
