The downside of NixOS is that developing on it is hell incarnate. And saying "you just have to learn the Nix way and use nix-shell" is not a satisfactory solution, take it from someone who has tried twice. Moreover, I gave up on NixOS the second time around because an update completely hosed my system, including all my rollbacks. Something with XServer broke across all snapshots.
