Comment 357 for bug 1575053

Adding my voice to this. I will continue to run `sudo apt autoremove --purge snapd` as the first command on every fresh installation of Ubuntu until they no longer live in ~/snap. ~/.snap is a perfectly acceptable alternative, ~/.local/snap is even better.

I will not use snaps - and if that breaks things, that's fine. As far as I am concerned, those breakages are a bug. Any features lacking after the removal simply make Ubuntu inferior to other projects with less fragmented package systems - and if it is inferior to other fully FOSS products, then I will move to Fedora or other, less fragmented and more feature ecosystems - as is my duty as a user.

Personally, just like Unity, I'd rather Canonical ditch snaps all together if this is the quality of software we can expect from them. Don't do what you're bad at - you suck at user experience.
