Please don't ask me to read that dreadful, dreadful website :-\

I have read the blogpost that article summarizes.  My own 
feelings are:

   * short term up-to-dateness of snapd is probably something that 
will
     sort itself out in good time

   * the 'centralization' of the Ubuntu snap store (which serves 
all
     snap users on all distros) isn't really true, but inasmuch as 
it
     is a thing, it's an asset: one place of delivery for all snap
     users, a bunch of automated security checking guaranteed on 
every
     upload, no burden to host one's own repository or for the 
user to
     need to know about multiple repos ... compare with the flatpak
     website where every highlighted download is coming from a 
different
     site

Basically: snaps provide an easy way to define a package that can 
reach a lot of developers, now, with minimal infrastructural 
effort required.  That seems a worthwhile investment to me.
