Comment 30 for bug 1643706

Today, after very poor past experience with snaps, I thought to give it a go once again to use some third party software packaged as snap.

Alas, I see this bug is sadly still not fixed.

# Docker (arguably different use cases) got it right

With docker it can be as easy as:

    docker run -it -v $PWD:/somemountpoint myprogram myarguments

and voilà, the docker-confined app sees your current directory as /somemountpoint.

# Snap as policy and communication failure

The current snap experience is: users run software, perform reasonable actions, see cryptic failures, ask reasonable "howto" questions and get "no reasonable person would do such action" answers.

I respectfully disagree.

IMHO no reasonable software provider should treat they users like that.

Such rejection attitude to users maintains the status quo and overall saps snap reputation.
