While true, the effort vs. payoff tradeoff doesn't always work out in favour of Nix there. That's largely due to lacking documentation, but I imagine there will always remain 'quick hacks' in use for things that don't need to work for an extended period of time, for example. That having been said, for anything that needs to work for a longer period of time, it's 100% worth taking apart the install process.
