I've had bad experiences with Snap.

I understand that with Snap devs have to bundle their own dependencies and take care of upgrading, which is bad if I understood correctly.

In my case, a few programs I had installed needed to be connected to other snaps, and they would suddenly stop working for no apparent reason. Only by trying to launch the misbehaving program from the command line I'd find out I had to update the connected program(s).

Has never happened to me with Apt, so my opinion so far is that installing .deb files is vastly superior, at the moment.
