I definitively prefer a Debian package in main, even if it is "lagging
behind" as you said. For such a thing as an IDE, I expect it to be
mature enough so that the older version is enough for the everyday use.
And I would feel safer than using any random snap package. Who knows
what security issue is in there and what security policy and procedure
(if any) is in place.

I at least would care. And would very much welcome anyone doing the work
of packaging and maintaining this kind of software.
