That does sound pretty compelling!

Are there risks/potential issues with having snap-based apps and apt-based apts coexist on the same installation of Ubuntu? I know there's now "Ubuntu Core" which replaces apt with snap for everything, but if you're just using plain old Ubuntu on a workstation or server, how safe is it to dip a toe in with a few snaps while leaving everything else managed with apt?

(Apologies if these are dumb questions, I just haven't been able to find much messaging on snaps that speaks to end-user concerns instead of developer ones...)
