The gotcha I have with Nix is it's too much abstraction. I have to look at the upstream documentation, then try and map it to Nix's config syntax, then hope everything works.
For me, the big benefit is that even though I have to read the upstream documentation, I can use the same syntax for everything and do not have to learn and use N different configuration file syntaxes.
