Proprietary doesn't bother me at least not how snap is currently implemented
I don't recall noticing a size difference between snaps and flatpaks
I've found snaps as fast as flatpaks, but I know snaps has issues before I started using them

Honestly, if you're satisfied, there's not really a compelling reason to switch. Keep using snaps if that's what works for you. But I would like to remark that we should preferably support open solutions to proprietary ones. That's not saying that we should never use proprietary software, but just something to keep in mind.
