I like using snap on my LTS servers, I can test new CLI tools there and see if the new version has soem fixes that I need or not, if the snap works better I can use it without messing around with installing some PPA to update the tool and it's dependencies.

What I dislike about snaps is the performance. Somehow they have managed to make them practically unusable on computers older than a few years.
