Right now that may not work for people unless they enable the
`proposed` repository. There's a bug that currently prevents
installation of `snapd` via the stable repos, but a fix for that
has been prepared and I would guess it will probably be released
next week. I will post here when that's the case.

My impression is quite the opposite -- that snap packages right
now offer more features (security included) and make fewer
assumptions about the host system. But, obviously, your call
what you wish to work with.
However, since the snap package is available now ... if you are
able to, could you possibly do me the favour of trying it out and
confirming whether or not it works for you?
Thanks & best wishes,
