> I'd rather spend time explaining the language than teaching them workarounds. Good user interface is not a workaround. I don't think you understand the magnitude of the problem though.

Don't get me wrong, I think what Nix brings us is great and pretty much the only future for package management, but it's very obvious that it's not going to be the Nix itself.
