to the nature of our platform we release updates more than daily which admittedly can be annoying for our users to constantly update therefore having them done seamlessly in the background makes life for our users so much easier it s great to see snaps as the first serious attempt to try and unify the community jeff dickey cli engineer heroku starting with snaps is easy we definitely find snapcraft easier as it is yaml based and provides details of what artifacts are needed debian packaging has things that need to be followed which can be distribution specific which creates complication the modular containment is what appealed about snaps and we can see it will be a lot more flexible starting with snaps is easy and the resources that are provided are clean and structured which aids adoption lee coward and rakesh singh net microsoft a major software discovery tool the snap store provides additional exposure to our tools for many of our existing and potential users the decision to use it came quite naturally we believe the store will be a major software discovery tool on linux so the more people find out about our tools naturally and install them more easily the
