It’s confusing if there are more than one version of an app and the fact that the command to install one installs the other doesn’t make it better

There's already more than one version without snap, it's already a confusing mess. Not all distros are compatible with the exact same binaries. And people probably don't want to compile everything form source.

Snap could potentially unify things, and remove all of that confusion.

And then Canonical would control Linux apps, sounds like a good idea
