I can only echo acabal, foresto and a lot of the above comments. The technical merit of snap is not the point. But cluttering the homedir as a default _and_ offering no way around is not acceptable from any application. Hidden folders do exist for a reason, /var exists for a reason.
In the end, this gave the impulse to finally move over to Debian. After more than fifteen years of Ubuntu. I fear that you're destroying a lot of well earned goodwill. :-(

Please fix this for the sake of Ubuntu.
