My biggest problem is that it's not version-controlled. I don't use home-manager, and (still) haven't looked into Nix flakes.
Instead, I put `export PATH="/path/to/my/repo/result/bin:$PATH"` in my ~/.bashrc, and inside that repo I have a default.nix file:
buildEnv {
name = "my-packages";
paths = [ foo bar baz ... ];
}
Running `nix-build` will update the result/bin symlink to point at the new applications.
