The most annoying thing for me was the huge internet data usage by snap updates but it is better now.

Even though it showed 300mb for a Firefox update, but only consumed 80mb and everything updated and working wonderfully ! πŸ˜… 😍 πŸ‘‘

The New app store is beautiful πŸ™Œ

(just sharing my experience πŸ˜… )

I've seen very similar use of loop devices in an automotive app management implementation. Each app has its own filesystem image that gets mounted on a loop device on installation, then runs from it. It's annoying on the command line but it's not a bad use case of the facility. ☺️
