The point of snap is you have one single package for all releases instead of one package for each release.

This reduces the maintenance burden, while also allowing you to have up to date packages.

The way this is done is by bundling all dependencies in your snap package rather than using the system ones.

I think it's a great idea for applications you want to be updated frequently, like VS Code, Chrome, etc.

It's not perfect, e.g. back end is closed source, but I'm glad Ubuntu is giving us options and being at the forefront of package management.
