Why I dislike snaps

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Why I hate snaps/flatpak:
Don't know about Snap, but Flatpak download sizes decrease significantly after installing the main platform libraries, they can become really small; of course that's pretty much fully negated if you're installing Electron apps, but even then 500MB isn't very accurate, more like 150MB on average
Yes I hate it, what is even more annoying is that you can do
flatpak install someapp
and it will search matches on its own, it shows them to you to let you decide, but after that you can't doflatpak run someapp
because it "doesn't exist"There's a nice program called flattool that solves the name issue
Is it this one?
It looks excellent, ~~any idea why it's not on Flathub yet?~~ Never mind, I got it:
