That snaps does not have dependencies is a nice theory, but as you said
that some snaps use platform snaps and without them they do not work. So
what should this relation be?
The problem I see is that the software center does not provide the information,
which snaps are required to run an installed snap.
In the case of notepad++ I realized the dependency to wine only, because I
analyzed the problem with the snap command. But software center does not give
this information, nor does it solve the dependency.
Also when starting notepad++ no information is given, that something is
missing. It simply does not start.
So the question I have is: How the casual user should recognize what is
missing to run a snap?
