What issues did you have with snap packages?

I am not aware of any problems with snap packages.

They have some pretty nice features compared to traditional packages:

If snap packages have caused problems for you, what were the problems?

Big and slow.
For me it was their begging for money on install.
Would you prefer the Microsoft way of begging for money before install?
I prefer the Arch way of "begging for money on install", which is to say, none at all.
I currently prefer Debian
