I played around with it and ended up getting rid of it for basically the same reasons, but I have to say that I was impressed by how easy it was to remove. When I got rid of Homebrew I had to run a script that did a bunch of non-obvious things, when I got rid of Nix I did rm -rf /nix && rm -rf ~/nix-* and removed a line from my zshrc. My main complaint with Nix itself was that Vim was built without python support so Youcompleteme didn't work and it wasn't obvious how to recompile it to have python support, but the experience was nice enough that I'll give it another go later on.
