A very important aspect of snap that should have been noted in the article is the lack of user control over the a snap's updating process; Users are not allowed to control when updates are applied, leading to a windows 10-like user experience: https://forum.snapcraft.io/t/disabling-automatic-refresh-for...

From what I could understand, placing the update process under the control of snap app developers - rather that device owners - is deliberate design decision.
