I know snap is fairly unpopular in the Linux community, and I’ve seen mixed responses regarding Flatpak. I wanted to know, what’s the general opinion of people in this community regarding this 2 package managers?

My first experience with snap was rather frustrating.
The application kept failing to read the config file I provided without telling me why. After reading up it turns out snap can only read from the users home directory (and mounts, I think).
Fine, frustrating but I vaguely understand it. So I move my config to the home directory. Still the same issue with no explanation.
Finally it turns out it can’t read dot files or dot directories even inside the home directory.
Again, that’s understandable but it was an incredibly frustrating, unintuitive experience. Vastly different than the Linux experience I was accustomed to.
