This should have higher priority as it really affects everyone using snap.

It is arrogant to think everyone want your ~/snap directory polluting their $HOME! It's cluttering my shell, file browser, everything! I can't even remember the last time I installed an app that pulled this stunt.

Of course this should be changed in accordance with XDG standards. As a minimum this should immediately be changed to ~/.snap. It's an easy fix and is easy to migrate as well.

It's 2017, come on.
