I tried Snap out today, but after seeing it clutter my home folder I immediately removed all Snap applications and uninstalled it. In my home directory, I like to have only my media and documents visible with all settings folders and such being hidden. Until now, most applications respect this and store their settings in folders with a . in front, or at least allow you to customize where settings are stored. Snap doesn't allow me to do this. Being unable to change this makes Snap unacceptable for me. I think it is highly unfortunate that the location where the settings are stored should be in such a garish way and can't be altered. I am also sensing a lot of hesitation from the developers in changing this behaviour citing that it is difficult. Nevertheless, I, and I suspect many others, won't use it unless this bug is fixed.
